Today in computer lab, we're going to further explore two of our HUGE vocabulary words:
PRODUCTS and RESOURCES.
Remember, products are the things businesses grow and make to sell. A
product can be something you can hold (like Pokemon cards), or it can be a
service (shoveling the snow in driveways). We use
natural resources (from nature),
capital resources (materials and tools we use in our business), and
human resources (workers). It's also important to remember that businesses provide
products and
services that people actually want--otherwise, they won't make any money.
