Supply is how much of an item there is. For instance, if a store has 10 toy cars to sell, their supply is 10. Demand is how many people want to buy something. If 10 people go to that store to buy one of those toy cars, everyone will get one? What if 12 people want to buy the toys then what do you think that will do to the price? Up or Down?

Flower shops across the United States sell roses year round but every February the price increases just before Valentines Day. Why? Is the demand high or low? Suppose a freeze killed half of the rose crop just before Valentines Day; So the supply is up or down? Would this freeze effect the demand for roses? how would this effect the price of roses? The price would go up or down? What other “industry” might this effect if half of the roses die? Why?
