The four categories to consider are:

Natural resources | Labour | Capital | Intermediate products

Which category of factor inputs would the following go?

Deposits of shale gas | Apps on an iPad | A water treatment plant | Cash (notes and coins)

Can students identify some other examples to go into the chosen Focus Circle?
