A Fishy Supply Simulation Lesson

This simulation lesson will assist students studying the factors that affect supply of a product in Business. Designed for year 12 students for their A-Level course but could work well at GCSE level.
Students are put in the position of fishermen/women and their objective is to make as much money as they can from creating fish. The situation changes regularly, so students may change their approach during the lesson.
After the fun and excitement, students complete an evaluation sheet that relates the practical activity they have just been doing to the fundamental topic of demand and supply- getting students to draw clear diagrams with written explanation of what’s happened in each situation. This also allows for an excellent class discussion.
Everything required to run the lesson is included - you just need some scrap paper, scissors, pencils, and rulers. It is written to last an hour, but can be adapted, or the discussion can be conducted as a follow-up in the next lesson.
