The High School Food Court

Unit Description:
This is one of BIE's most popular units, in which students must decide which restaurants to choose for a new food court and make an oral presentation to a school board. The High School Food Court unit presents students with straightforward demand and cost issues that become confounded as political forces begin to intrude on the economic allocations. By coming to an understanding of how resources are allocated by consumers and producers, students discover What is produced, and in what quantities? as well as For whom are goods produced?

Time Required:
5 days
