Harvesting, the process of gathering mature crops, is crucial for providing food and services and impacts the economy through the use of land, labor, and machinery. Books like “Tops & Bottoms” by Janet Stevens and “Jayden’s Impossible Garden” by Mélina Mangal help illustrate these economic concepts. This workshop will feature engaging activities centered around harvesting, including a fun market lesson, to help students explore markets, productive resources, and the concepts of goods and services.
