Unit 4: All About Work

With a focus on economics, students learn why people work. They are introduced to the concept of money, the difference between needs and wants, and a flow chart. There are kinds of work, such as service jobs and volunteer work. Goods are things people grow or make and some goods are produced in a factory. Sometimes people and countries trade goods. Today, compared to long ago, machines make our lives easier to produce goods.
