Through a simulation based on a petroleum futures market, students put into practice their knowledge of the supply and demand model. Students play this simulation in a network, competing against one another to top an investment leader-board across a series of rounds.

In each round, students watch a video news report and then have to decide how the events mentioned will affect the future price of oil. After taking their positions in the market, a second video provides feedback and students then see their gains/losses and how the results have affected their standing in the class leader-board.
