Assembly Lines

As part of the Economic planner we explored the concepts of supply and demand. We went to United Streaming to learn how products today are made and how the supply is affected by the assembly line. We looked at guitars, bubble gum, potato chips and even french fries. We saw how important human resources are when we watched someone who is not an expert try to work on an assembly line. The Discoverers then developed an assembly line for their own product. Next, we had to find a way to advertise the product to create a demand. Finally, the students presented their work to the class. The work is on display in the third grade hallway.
