Scarcity and Choice
Source: Council for Economic Education (EconEdLink) | Type: Lesson
In this lesson, students participate in a role play as producers of two goods, allowing students to experience scarcity. They make choices about using their scarce resource to produce both or one of two goods. Then they construct production-possibilities curves, compute opportunity costs, and conclude that scarcity requires choice and every choice has an opportunity cost.
