[LM_NET] Economics

Hello!

I am a new media specialist and a 4th grade teacher asked me a question
that I hope maybe you can help me out with! She is starting an economics
project where the students have a snowflake factory and they have to
determine cost, demand, how much to produce, etc. She asked me if we
could do something in computers that would support this kind of a
project and reinforce the economics ideas. I know there is the game
lemonade stand where the students have to figure those kinds of things
out, but does anyone have some great lessons or know of anything else
that is along those lines for fourth graders? Thank you!
