supply and demand

When studying economics we look at supply and demand. when the price and quantity are right, supply ans demand reach an equilibrium point price and quantity are effected by the producer and consumer. the producer can only sell their product at a price the consumer is willing to pay.

relationship:
when there are lots of products(high supply) the price is driven down, when there are fewer products(collectables)and demand is high the price is driven up.

graph:

this is a graph explining the supply and demand.

Dandy brush: To brush the horse.
Body brush: To remove dirt.

Mane comb: To untangle knots in the man and tail
If washed: Use scraper to scrape of the water.

Feeding: treats; apples, carrots, etc.
1. Hold out your hand so the horse can sniff it
2. Hold your hand as flat as you can, with your thumb straight beside your fingers.

Tip: They can only eat food of your hand if it is held flat.

The art of mapping...

Hi everyone!
Today in class we discussed how to do mapping. The reason for this is because we have instead of drawing an island with buildings and roads and other details we have to make a MAP of our island. So we had to use our atlas's to find out what all the symbols are for forests, rivers, airports etc. Now all we have to do is the mapping, it will be tricky but i think i can do i i put some hard work into it.
