What It Teaches
Economics skills students build
Telling a good from a service is one of the first ideas in economics. Students read everyday things and decide which are physical products — a loaf of bread, a book, a bicycle — and which are work that someone does for you — a haircut, a bus ride, a doctor visit. Pair it with the goods and services lesson and the economics worksheets for more practice.
- Tell the difference between a good and a service
- Classify everyday things into two categories
- Understand what producers make and sell

- Get ready for lessons on the economy and jobs
