Learn about the PCB cleanup of South Park, a Seattle neighborhood along the Duwamish River, in this video segment adapted from FRONTLINE: Poisoned Waters. In 2004, the community learned that some of its streets and yards were contaminated with toxic chemicals called PCBs. Citizens, galvanized by the finding, demanded the long-promised cleanup of an abandoned asphalt plant. The proposed cleanup led to a debate, when the Port of Seattle promised to reduce PCBs to the EPA standard of 25 parts per million (ppm), but residents demanded a stricter standard of 1 ppm. After debate, the city agreed to the stricter standard. [4:55]

The poultry industry has changed dramatically since the early 1900s. Demand for chicken and turkey has skyrocketed. Did you know that chicken is the most popular meat choice in America? This e-learning course explores how farmers keep up with demand and create high-quality poultry products through proven breeding practices. At the end of this course you will be able to: Describe how consumer preferences have impacted poultry breeding. Explain how selective breeding has improved poultry genetics. Describe how hybridization improves the inherited traits of poultry. Identify breed-specific traits in poultry. This course was developed with support from the Ohio Poultry Association.

In this module, students learn about market equilibrium.

Prices for most goods and services are determined in markets by what economists call supply and demand. This module uses a fictitious chocolate market to help students better understand how supply and demand work together to determine prices.
