Discussing first the elasticity of demand and then the element of supply, these slides present graphs and bullet points that would easily supplement your economics lecture. Viewers will appreciate the pacing of the slides, making it easy...

Students discover the elasticity concepts of price, income, cross elasticity, and elasticity of supply. They apply this knowledge to an activity about Britain's Birmingham Northern Relief Road.

Students define economic terms, list three conditions that must be present in order for demand to exist, define law of supply and demand, differentiate between buyer's and seller's markets, examine concept of elasticity, view tutorial on...

Students discuss the oil crisis and a future world without oil. In this oil lesson plan, students watch videos online based on the reduced oil supply. They discuss how their regional community depends on oil and what would happen if the...

Third graders predict and experiment to discover the amount of force exerted by a stretched elastic band. They construct a spreadsheet and make a bar graph showing the results of their experiment.

Learners identify and explain the variables effecting supply and demand in the marketing industry. Then they define the terms supply and demand and graph supply and demand curves on a standard grid. Students also formulate what happens...

Students create a polymer out of glue, water, and borax. They discuss the resulting substance and perform several experiments with it.

After considering the role that gasoline plays in our lives and our dependence on it as a society, learners participate in a reading activity discussing why oil prices are increasing. They will then simulate being members of a committee...

High schoolers are introduced to the topic of elasticity. As a class, they identify demand as being either price elastic or price inelastic when given examples. They discover the relationship between percentage changes in the quantity...

Health care is an industry that impacts every American. Study the economics behind the Health care industry in the US with this supplementary presentation. Intended for use with a McGraw-Hill textbook, these slides will help upper...

Students analyze the meaning of the business term, elasticity, and discuss the main elasticity concepts of price, income, and cross elasticity. They manipulate and demonstrate various business formulas.

Taking your young economists through the characteristics of four market models (Pure Competition, Pure Monopoly, Oligopoly, and Monopolistic Competition), this presentation uses both charts and graphs to illustrate the necessary...

Students examine the nature of price controls, the impact of maximum prices below the equilibrium level on a market, the effect it can have on other markets, the requirements for effective price discrimination in a market, and the price...

Ninth graders experiment with bouncing balls to investigate the elasticity coefficient of different sizes and types of balls. In this superball physics lesson, 9th graders bounce various types of balls from differing heights. They...

Eighth graders bounce superballs and measure to see if they can hit the same spot over and over. In this superball lesson plan, 8th graders calculate the weight of the ball with the force of the throw to try and hit the same spot with...

Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find spring...

Students develop skills and a comfort level in interpreting economic concepts through graphic analysis.

Students explore the role of government in the economy market. In this economics lesson, students analyze the decision making and how it takes into consideration additional cost, benefits and public awareness of what they are trying to...

Students make a tree sculpture. In this trees and the environment lesson, students learn about the parts of a tree, discuss what a tree needs in order to grow, find images of trees in art and nature, use various materials to create a...

Students create individual masks using poster paper, string or elastic, and basic art supplies in this wonderful Art lesson for any level. Emphasis is placed on the discussion of cultural and personal uses of masks and personal creativity.

Students of all ages can explore the question "how do seeds grow?", design an experiment to answer the question, predict the outcome of the experiment then conduct the experiment.

Students simulate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students create a model of the water cycle. Students draw the water cycle and write a paragraph explaining their drawing.

Students study how government decisions need to account for competitive forces. They examine Utah's higher education system as an example. They describe how Utah compares to other western states in attracting out-of-state students. They...

Students explore how the heart pumps blood through its valves. They observe fluid moving through a one-way valve and build a model of a valve. in addition, they explore biotechnology design.
