Supply & Demand Lab

Pick a market, slide the price, and watch how many buyers want it, how many sellers offer it, and whether that leaves a surplus, a shortage, or a balanced market — on a live supply/demand chart.

Surplus or shortage?Predict what a price does — then check the numbers. Find the balance priceWhere do buyers and sellers agree — the equilibrium? Price for profitWhich price earns a seller the most money?

Market Shift Lab

A heat wave, a frost, a viral video, a new machine — real events move markets. Predict which curve shifts and where the price and quantity land, then see the reveal. This is why prices change.

Which curve moves?Does the event touch buyers, or sellers? Where does it land?Predict the new price and quantity.
