Resource Overview
In two simulation games, students determine individual short-term consumption strategies that will maximize resources for the entire group. (Distance learning tool available below!)
Students will be able to:
- Identify a strategy that would produce a sustainable use of resources in a simulation game.
- Draw parallels between the chips used in the game and renewable resources upon which people depend.
- Analyze how the actions of participants in resource simulation games are similar or different from the actions of people in real-world situations.
