Kids loved this resource to learn about the assembly line!
Excellent economic unit for elementary school!
Loved this idea- sadly I have not been able to squeeze it all in!
Thanks
Thank you! This was such a great representation of how an assembly line works!
This really helped my fourth graders understand some of the complicated vocabulary linked with economics. Great resource!
Looking forward to using this!
Great resource for teaching about economics and the division of labor. Students LOVE hands on learning, and especially with food/cooking involved.
