What children learn in Level 52

Goods are things you can touch that are made or grown, like apples, bikes, books, and shoes.
Services are work that someone does for you, like cutting your hair, cleaning your teeth, or delivering the mail.
Producers make goods or give services: farmers, bakers, barbers, and teachers. Consumers buy and use goods and services. You are a consumer!
In Georgia, farmers grow goods like peanuts, peaches, and cotton. Doctors, teachers, and bus drivers give services.
Your turn! Sort them: goods, or services?
