This
is a 7 lesson unit on Environmental Economics, targeted to
grades 7 - 10 or 11, suitable for economics, current issues
(including debate), science, law, civics. The 7 lessons focus
on the following: incentives, opportunity cost (diamond/water
paradox), the characteristics of propery rights, property
rights & law, marginal costs/marginal benefits, and public
choice. Each lesson includes teacher background information
and real-world examples, and a classroom activity. In addition,
one of the lectures will relate the material to your area
and PERC (Political Economy Research Center) will
provide a written addendum specific to your area's water issues.
(The unit is being published by PERC and was originally written
with a grant to PERC from Coca-Cola. PERC and FTE are partnering
to provide the workshops. |
