Making a Prototype

 





Students are eagerly preparing for their visit to Junior Achievement's Business simulation field trip to JA Biztown in Chesterfield, Mo. 
In this lesson, students learn about scarcity, natural and human resources, and the free enterprise business market.  

Students must employ creativity, collaboration, and teamwork with limited resources. Each team is offered the following materials:
  • paper
  • one pair of scissors
  • one stapler
  • one marker
  • one tape dispenser


What will your group make with your materials?

Math flashcard set:


A keychain:

A decorative lamp:

A wallet

Students evaluated how the materials and resources impacted production and how the volume of product produced contributed to the possible selling price.
