Ms. Hinton's 5th grade students have created presentations on Opportunity Costs and Finance. The activity is part of their social studies unit on economics. The students studied their topic in the classroom. They came into the media center armed with information. Ms. Hinton and Mrs. King helped the students transform the information into Powerpoint presentations. The completed presentations can be found at http://mymediacenter.wikispaces.com/page/edit/5th+grade+-+Hinton?template.

SS5E1 The student will use the basic economic concepts of trade, opportunity cost, specialization, voluntary exchange, productivity, and price incentives to illustrate historical events.
