8th Grade Stock Market Project Overview: This activity is designed to make students aware of corporations and the stock market through Internet research, buying, recording, and selling stocks of their choice over a 2 week period. The stock market played an important role in the economy and lives of the people who lived in the 1920's and 1930's. There was heavy investment in stocks at that time, buying stocks on margin, and the resulting stock market panic and crash signaled the start of the Great Depression.
