EMT- Emergency Medical Technicians are the people that pick you up in the ambulance, but besides that they are also nurses. EMT’s are trained professional who responds to emergency medical situations. Many assume that an EMT is a paramedic, but this is not the case. EMTs are classified in levels, depending upon their degree of training. Only EMT 4s are considered paramedics. I would then explain what a paramedic is to the children.

The **stethoscope**is an acoustic [|medical] device for [|auscultation], or listening to the internal sounds of an animal body. It is often used to listen to lung and [|heart sounds]. It is also used to listen to [|intestines] and blood flow in [|arteries] and [|veins].



I found a website that had Q & A’s for kids. I thought it was quite interesting, here are some of the questions and answers I thought kids would find interesting.

1. ** Q: How many different things can a police dog do? **

A: In training, there are actually 16 different jobs we train them on: trailing, tracking, both in different kinds of weather, area searches for criminals and evidence, car protection, aggression, physical fitness and agility, obedience training, fighting with humans, SWAT team training, and a few others.

2. ** Q: While you're training the dogs, what are you learning? ** A: How to read the dog's body language — each dog signals in different ways as he works. The handler watches the dog's behaviors and actions, including level of excitement, ears, tail, posture, speed.

3. **Q: How long are the dogs in training? **

A: They're constantly in training, but they go through a 12-week program in the beginning to teach them the basics. The best dogs are trained every day of the week for a minimum of 30 minutes on obedience and physical fitness. We have to keep up the different types of training; physical fitness is very important to their well being due to some of the environments they work through.



Safety coloring books: These 2 books introduce the kids to things they should know based on their ages. I have a preschool one for those who may be mature and then for the ones who may be right on level. It shows them who to look for and who to call in case of an emergency. There are also coloring pictures with demonstrations. For example: there is a “Know 2 ways out… it shows that you can get out through a window or through the door in an emergency. The front of the older kids book (1st and 2nd grade) has lesson information and pages that you can turn to for each. I think this is good for the classroom and also at home. Some parents may not even know some of the information listed inside.



Safety Cone- **Traffic cones**, also called **traffic pylons**, **road cones**, **highway cones**, **highway products**, **kafele boothe cones**, **safety cones**, **construction cones**, are usually [|cone]-shaped markers that are placed on roads or footpaths to temporarily redirect [|traffic] in a safe manner. They are often used to create separation or [|merge lanes] during [|road construction] projects or [|automobile accidents], although heavier, more permanent markers or signs are used if the diversion is to stay in place for a long period of time.



A **walkie-talkie** is a hand-held, portable, [|two-way radio] [|transceiver]. Its development during the [|Second World War] has been variously credited to [|Donald L. Hings], radio engineer [|Alfred J. Gross], and engineering teams at [|Motorola].



A **police dog**, often referred to as a "**K-9**" in some areas, is a [|dog] that is trained specifically to assist [|police] and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. One commonly used breed is the [|German Shepherd], although now [|Belgian Malinois] are popular dogs to use. In many jurisdictions the intentional injuring or killing of a police dog is a [|felony],[|[1]] subjecting the perpetrator to harsher penalties than those in the statutes embodied in local [|animal cruelty] laws,[|[2]] just as an assault on a human police officer is often a more serious offense than the same assault on a non-officer.
