Exploring Community Needs and Wants

Miss Gage introduces the concept of wants and needs, explaining the essential needs for living, such as air, water, food, clothing, and shelter. She distinguishes these from wants, which are non-essential items that provide enjoyment. The video includes an interactive game to help students identify wants and needs, followed by an assignment to reinforce learning. Students are encouraged to discuss their understanding with others.
