Classroom Question

What kind of jobs can you do as a student? What kind of job do you want when you grow up?

17 of 73

Teaching

Going to school

Babysitting

Playing outside at school

Working in an office or shop

Taking a shower or a bath

Driving a delivery truck

Taking care of sick people

Job or Not a Job?

Raise your hand if you think each of the following is a job:

Let’s play another game to see if you can tell the difference between something that is a job and something that is not a job. I’m going to say something, and if you think it’s a job, raise your hand!

Playing outside at school, is that a job?

No, that’s just for fun! No one get paid to play at recess.

Babysitting?

Yes, babysitting is a job because a babysitter gets paid money for watching someone else’s children!

How about going to school?

No, going to school is important and it can feel like work, but you don’t get paid money for it, so it’s not a job.

Teaching?

Yes, teaching is a job because teachers get paid to come in and work with all of you for the school year!

Working in an office or a shop?

Yes, people who work in offices or shops earn money for the work they do.

Taking a shower or a bath?

No, taking a shower is something you do to stay clean, but it’s not a job.

Driving a delivery truck?

Yes, that’s a job because delivery drivers get paid to make sure we get all of our packages!

And finally, taking care of sick people? What do you think, is that a job? This one could be tricky.

Doctors, nurses, and anyone who works in the medical field get paid to help people who aren’t feeling well. But if our parents have to take care of us when we’re sick, then that’s not a job! So it’s all about how we look at it!

You guys did great at determining if something is a job or not!

Did you know?

The Money Circle

Money doesn’t disappear when you spend it, it becomes part of the Money Circle.

24 of 73

Let’s try a Money Circle!

In groups of 6 we are going to do an example of a Money Circle.

Arrange your group in a circle.

You’ll be given a job card - make sure to listen for your job and number!

Sometimes the Money Circle contains extra steps, like the bank.

Sometimes the Money Circle is very big - money may travel all the way to other countries!

Not everything we buy in our community was made in our community.

The Money Circle

Money moves through our community in many ways:

The money circle we acted out today showed how money moves in a small community, but real money circles can be much bigger.

The earning and spending circle continues in other communities too. Money doesn’t stop, it keeps moving from person to person, and from business to business. Sometimes the money circle takes many more steps than the simple circle we just ran through.

There can even be extra steps, like the bank. People put money in the bank, borrow money from the bank, or use the bank to save for things they need.

And sometimes the money circle is very big. Money may travel all the way to other countries. Not everything we buy in our community was made in our community. Some things come from far away - other provinces, other places in Canada, or even other parts of the world.

This helps us see that money is always moving, always travelling, and always helping people and businesses meet their needs.

Classroom Question

What country did the things you use at school come from?

Look for the words “Made in” on the items around or at your desk!

38 of 73

Some items we use come from other countries, and some items we make go to other countries.

This is called importing and exporting.

This helps us enjoy things we couldn’t make or grow in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Tools & Technology

41 of 73

Classroom Question

What tools do you use every day?

42 of 73

Technology

Now we’re going to talk a little bit more about technology. A technology is a practical method or invention that people create to meet a need.

Some technologies have been around for a very long time. We call these traditional technologies. Traditional methods are often similar to the methods we use today, just made with older tools or materials. For example, a long time ago, bowls and plates were made from clay or wood. People shaped them by hand and used simple tools to help. Today, we can still buy clay and wood bowls, but we also have bowls made from newer materials like ceramics, glass, plastic, or metal. That’s because people invented new technologies that help us collect or create these materials and turn them into bowls. So even though the idea of a bowl hasn’t changed, the technology we use to make it has changed over time.

Technology

Here’s an example of how technology changes over time. In early years, people wrote with quills dipped in ink, that was the tool they used.

Later, pencils and pens were invented. Pencils and pens were an innovation because they gave people a different, better and easier way to write.

Today, we have even more modern tools like Apple Pencils that let you write on an iPad or an electronic pen that let you write on a smartboard. That’s another innovation.

Innovation means finding new ways to do things or inventing new tools to meet a need. When builders start using new power tools that make their work faster and safer, that’s innovation. When a company releases a new type of cell phone with better features, that innovation too. Innovation is all about improving tools and technology so people can do their jobs better, faster and more safely.

Technology

Canadian inventions are just a few of the many new technologies people have started using in recent years. Innovation has a big influence on a country. When technology changes, it can affect where people live, how they work and how they do everyday things.

As we talked about earlier, new technologies can change the way we live our lives. Now, keeping more recent modern technologies in mind, can you remember a time when you switched from one technology to a newer one? (Possible answers: DVD -> Netflix, CDs -> Spotify/Apple Music, Paper Maps -> GPS/Google Maps) Why did you switch? Exactly. People usually switch to a new technology because it makes their lives easier. New technologies can save time, help us do things faster, or give us more choices. Even if a new technology feels unfamiliar or costs more at first, people often choose it because it helps them meet their needs in a better way. That’s the power of innovation, finding new ways to make life easier, safer or more efficient.

The Sound of Change

Here are the examples of how music has changed over the years. A long time ago, people listened to music on a gramophone, it stayed in one room, and you couldn’t carry it around.

Then came LP records and record players, these let people listen to whole albums, but the player still stayed in one spot.

Next was the 8-track, it was bigger and not very portable, but it was one of the first ways people could listen to music in their cars.

After that, we had cassettes and stereo systems. Cassettes were smaller and easier to carry, and you could record your own music on them.

Then came the portable cassette player. This was a big innovation because people could finally take their music with them wherever they went.

Later, we got CDs and the Walkman CD Player. CDs had clearer sound and were easier to use.

Then came MP3 players and the iPod. These let people store hundreds or even thousands of songs in one tiny device.

And today, most people use streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music or Youtube. You don’t even need to buy individual songs, you can listen to almost anything instantly.

Each new version made listening to music easier, more portable and more fun. That’s innovation, changing technology to make life better.

We use tools and technology to help us do our jobs
Some tools we use are modern, while others are traditional and have been around for a long time
Lots of important inventions were created by Canadians!
Changing technologies impact people and businesses
Eventually technologies become outdated, and we stop using them or change them to make them better
