Video Learning Notes

Students learned to identify basic human needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, and distinguish these from wants. They explored how people meet these needs and wants in different ways, including examples from their own lives. Understanding the difference between needs and wants helps students make sense of everyday choices and the role of economics in their community.

  • Describe what wants are and how they differ from needs.
