Activity 10b: Goods and Services
We have been looking at some of the goods and services available in communities through our studies of transportation, schools, technology, household items, and grocery stores from long ago and nowadays. Let’s now take a closer look at what goods and services are.
Goods are objects people want that they can touch or hold. Goods are items you buy, such as food, clothing, toys, furniture, and toothpaste.
Services are actions that a person does for someone else. Services are actions such as haircuts, medical check-ups, mail delivery, car repair, and teaching.
