WIDGET PRODUCTION: Producing More, Using Less
Source: Council for Economic Education (EconEdLink) | Type: Lesson
In the first part of the lesson students take a quiz to review the major concepts taught in Lesson 7, "Widget Production," from Master Curriculum Guide in Economics: Teaching Strategies 5-6. Students then search the web for examples of the many ways in which productivity has been increased over the years. Finally, they identify a situation where an increase in productivity could alleviate a problem and create a way to solve this problem. They also analyze the costs and benefits of implementing their solutions.
