This detailed lesson helps students fully understand economies of scale. The lesson starts with a fun ‘How Big’ starter worksheet - this is where students have to guess the different sizes of large companies (answers included). The lesson then looks at how large companies can benefit from economies of scale. The lesson covers the economies of scale diagram and how average costs fall as production increases. The lesson also looks at the clear difference between internal and external economies of scale. I have focused many tasks throughout this lesson that helps students fully understand the concept of economies of scale. The lesson also looks at diseconomies of scale in a lot of detail. I have also provided a great task based on Mega Dairies in the UK and how they hope to benefit from economies of scale - this includes a number of great video clips and an excellent worksheet that could be used in a group activity. This lesson could easily stretch across 2-3 hours of teaching. A great lesson which would be perfect for GCSE Economics and also useful for A-Level.

Some of the topics covered include Bush Tucker, European influence on food, economic factors, historical summary of food in Australia, Influences on food selection, food habits and the evolution of Australian cuisine.

This was done as an assessable task. Please don’t think that this is just a Q+A type workbook. There is a range of visual opportunities for students to show understanding, cloze passage activites, online research, survey, links to online films to answer questions about. For those in NSW this unit is built around the Focus Area of Food in Australia and covers the outcomes: 5.3.2 justifies food choices by analysing the factors that influence eating habits 5.5.1 selects and employs appropriate techniques and equipment for a variety of food-specific purposes 5.5.2 plans, prepares, presents and evaluates food solutions for specific purposes 5.6.1 examines the relationship between food, technology, and society

There are two sheets: one presents 9 arguments for increasing the population of Australia and the other presents those for reducing it. The arguments are numbered and those sharing the same number are counter- arguments. Students should do the activity in pairs. They would first look at the two 'number 1' arguments. they would discuss their relative merits and then share 5 marks between them. (e.g. if the 'for' argument is strongly supported, but the 'against' argument has some merit, they might give 4 to the former and 1 to the latter) At the end of the exercise they will add up the total number of marks for each side (remember, the total of the two sides should be 45). By the end of the activity the students will have reached a conclusion and have a range of arguments they could use in a written analysis of the question.

At first glance this may seem like a strange title. Perhaps it is. However if your are looking for a ready made unit of work this unit meets that need. It starts really with a pile of discarded irrigation material and allows the farmer to explain why he had to remove the orchard. Students, particularly those not familiar with farming communities and the problems faced by farmers will probably not have an awareness of the issue raised. Listen to the farmer. Lament with him the loss of his high quality oranges and share his sense of loss as he bulldozed his trees. Recognise the links between production, marketing and supermarket. Maybe discuss programmes that focus on supporting rural producers.The title may be a bit strange but the realities are ever present. This unit also supports Agriculture - land based studies under the Vocational studies listings.
