A Learning Cycle Lesson Plan: Scarcity

Abstract

This learning cycle lesson plan uses hands-on experiences to assist fifth or sixth graders in developing the important economic concept of scarcity. This lesson focuses on enabling students to understand that scarcity forces people to make choices about goods and services because they cannot have everything they want.
