Financial Literacy in the Science Classroom

I have taught chemistry, biology, and physics. I have supported finanical literacy through a soap making project. Students are given the task to design a bar of soap and develop a marketing campaign for their soap. They are given a starting budget and must turn in an expense report. I hope to teach them how budgeting can be applied outside of their homes. I would like to start teaching my preschoolers about financial literacy and responsibility earning and saving money by doing chores and helping grandparents.

Just like you mentioned,children need to know the value of money and to be able to appreciate it . Money is something that you work to make.Our kids needs to be reminded constantly . we cannot afford to be extravagant with our kids if we want them to know the value of money.
