How can you tell they’ve got it: Supply Chains?

If they’ve got it, you’ll see things like: Trace the journey of a familiar product (e.g. chocolate bar) from raw material to shop shelf; Identify at least three stages in a supply chain; Explain why a long supply chain can make a product more expensive. Or just try it together: If you asked your child how a chocolate bar gets from a cocoa farm to a shop shelf, could they describe the main steps in the journey?

In curriculum terms

Where products come from before they reach the customer; raw materials, making, transporting, and selling; the journey of a product from start to finish
