INQUIRY (ECONOMICS FOCUS) Students begin to explore the effect of ‘ supply ’ and ‘ demand ’ on the prices of products and services. Students develop a deeper connection to Economics in the ‘5 Mile Creek ’ project along with an understanding of the requirements of developing a theme park for the local community. Students take on the role of a town planner whose task is to cater for the needs of a diverse community as well as manage their personal finances. In Term 2, students explore the contribution that the Port of Melbourne has had, both past and present to the nation ’ s developing economy. Students are immersed in activities related to the ‘ needs ’ and ‘ wants ’ of society and how they help determine what Australia imports and exports through the Port of Melbourne. Students consolidate their understandings of Economics by showing the Journey of a Product and its impact across global trade.
