Conclusion

An economist can work at the individual and business levels or even with large-scale governments and economies. They study, research, predict, and evaluate business and revenue trends in every industry out there today. They are smart individuals with a natural ability to problem solve and pinpoint meaningful details. They're great with puzzles and quandaries and love finding patterns and trends. If this sounds like you, being an economist could be the career you're looking for.

Teacher Page

Students will make there way through Stock Exchange. On there way they will about the economic concepts related to the stock market. 

Students in my 12th grade class enjoyed this webquest because it made learning about economics fun and exciting for them.  They particularly loved the Lemonade Stand game and the final Classroom business project!  I found that it helped to photocopy the worksheets before the students began their webquest and then distributed them accordingly.



The following are the website links which will help the students understand the basic concepts of Economics and this will also help them to create there interest in the subject.
