This intro lesson examines the effects of supply and demand on the free market. The economics activities are engaging for students, and the guided 5-E format is easy for you to use! Everything you need is included!

 

First, explore the hula hoop’s rise to popularity by watching a clip from “The Hudsucker Proxy”, then introduce key vocabulary and concepts. Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. Next, challenge your class to predict how changes in supply and demand affect the economy with an “As Seen on TV” video activity. They love watching clips from ”The Simpsons”, ”The Office,” and ”SpongeBob” in class; you will love that they are learning all about economics!
