Lesson
Whats Up with the Stock Market?
What Students Learn
-
Learn the weird, abbreviated language of the stock market, and the difference between a bull and bear market.
Students create their own questions about stocks, bonds, and commodities. They then break into two teams and have a contest on who knows the most about financial institutions. With the second activity students partner up and use the newspaper to pick four stocks. They then track those stocks for a month to see if they increase or decrease in value.
