Economics for Kids: When Nobody Believes the Space Alarm Anymore — When Rules Backfire
“Space debris is heading for the base! Come help!” The crew rushes to the observation post, only to find an empty radar screen. After one false alarm too many, what happens when someone really needs help? Join Chip for a space-base adventure about unintended consequences: results nobody planned for that emerge when people respond to a rule. Along the way, we visit a classroom, a school fair, and two space bases connected by a supply pipeline. ## In this episode - How repeated false alarms can make a warning harder to trust. - Why a “first to arrive gets first choice” rule might cost someone sleep. - How a school-fair booth can sell the most and still lose money. - What might happen to pipeline repairs if a higher maintenance levy leads crews to trade outside the official system. - A story-based recap of price controls, first-come-first-served rules, taxes, and unintended consequences. ## Talk about it together 1. The young crew member wanted a little fun. What else changed because of his choices? 2. Can you think of a rule that made people do something unexpected? 3. Before setting a rule, how could we think about the ways people might respond? Try this : choose one rule at home or school. Name the problem it is meant to solve, then think of one unexpected way someone might respond to it. And keep this question in mind for our next adventure: if something has nobody’s name on it, does that mean nobody is responsible for looking after it? Powered by Firstory Hosting
兒童經濟學系列：太空基地警報響了，為什麼沒人來？認識規則的非預期後果
「有太空碎片朝基地飛來了！快來幫忙！」 觀測站傳來呼叫，隊員立刻放下工作趕過去，卻發現雷達上什麼也沒有。一次、兩次、三次……等到真的需要幫忙，為什麼大家反而不再相信警報了？ 這一集，奇普帶著科學探險家們走進太空基地，也回到熟悉的教室與園遊會，一起認識「非預期後果」：訂規則時沒想到，卻因為大家回應規則的方式而出現的結果。 ## 這集一起探索 - 太空基地的假警報，怎麼讓求助信號失去可信度？ - 最早到教室就能選位子，為什麼可能讓人少睡一點？ - 園遊會賣得最多，為什麼不一定賺得最多？ - 故事裡的維修稅提高後，如果基地改走別的交換方式，管道維修會受到什麼影響？ - 用補給管道的故事，串起價格管制、先來先到、稅與非預期後果。 ## 和孩子聊聊 1. 小隊員原本只是想找點樂子，最後卻讓什麼事情改變了？ 2. 你看過哪個規則，讓大家做出原本沒想到的事？ 3. 如果由你訂規則，你會先想想大家可能怎麼回應嗎？ 今天的小任務 ：挑一個家裡或學校的規則，試著說出「它想解決什麼問題」和「它可能讓人怎麼做」。 故事最後，奇普還留了一個問題：如果一樣東西沒有寫著是誰的，是不是就沒有人需要負責？一起把這個問題帶到下一次探險！ 🌍 加入免費隊員收聽英文版： https://chipsciencesquad.firstory.cc/join Powered by Firstory Hosting
