1. I think this would be a great entry level introduction to the basics of economics. This lesson can be taught in a 6th or 7th grade class. This lesson uses an ice cream stand simulation to teach the concepts of supply and demand. Since the lesson focuses around an ice cream stand simulation it creates a fun engaging activity to get the kids involved (I mean who doesn’t love ice cream)! The students are given the opportunity to create their own small business which I think is awesome. I think this lesson can be used in a history class or in a life skills class. I know my school had a basic life skills class (it was an elective class but not strictly economics) where you learned about money management, how to do your laundry, cook basic foods
