Lemonade For SaleLanguage: English | |
In this math-based story, members of the Elm Street Kids’ Club need money to fix up their clubhouse, so they decide to sell lemonade and monitor their success by tracking daily sales. LeVar takes viewers to the floor of the American Stock Exchange for a closer look at the economics and challenges of running a business. We explore two very different kinds of companies: Nantucket Nectars, a rapidly growing for-profit business that began on a boat in Nantucket Harbor, and Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that helps low-income women make tailored transitions into the workforce. |

Home squeezed lemonadeTry your hand at squeezing your own lemonade. You will need:
Roll the lemons on the table, pressing them with your hand. This will make the lemons squeeze easier. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze into a pitcher. Add the sugar and water. You may need to add more water or sugar to suit your taste. Pour into glasses and enjoy. Yeild : 2 servings. |
Be an InventorWhat would our world be like without inventors? Many luxuries that we have today, started as an idea that eventually turned into a reality. Together with your child, think of something you could create that we don’t already have. Use recyclable items (tubes, boxes, crayons, etc) to create that invention. Together you may want to start building first and then come up with the purpose of your invention. After your invention is complete, go ahead and create a poster/ad to go along with your creation. How much would it cost? Why do others need to buy your invention? Be creative, maybe your idea could turn into a reality. |
