Lesson Plan Course Title: Concepts of Engineering and Technology Session Title: Safety in the Classroom and How it Compares to Safety in the Workplace Performance Objective: Upon completion of this lesson, students will have worked as a team to research what kind of accidents did happen in the workplace as compared to the classroom, and illustrate the research findings by designing a PowerPoint presentation on safety and making a presentation to the class. Specific Objectives: The students will: Work as a team to complete a research project on accidents in the workplace and compare to accidents found in the classroom. Research information on accidents both in workplace and classroom. Select pictures of accidents in the workplace with information on what caused the accident. Select pictures of accidents in the classroom with information on what caused the accidents. Recognize safety hazards. Build communication skills. Build team skills. Locate where to find industry safety regulations. Describe how their team functioned to do the project. Comment on how they saw ethics, integrity, honesty, work habits and organizational skills of the organization where the accidents happened. Examine the work that went on relative to what went on in the accidents to see how they could prevent accidents.

The teacher will explain to the students what is required of the students to complete the assignment and when they are to present the assignment to the class. If the teacher has not already explained what a timeline is or a management plan, they should do so now.They may want to include a review date where the teacher will review the project as a check point on the students work. The teacher could ask the student for this date as part of their management plan.

Introduction Introduction (LSI Quadrant I): SAY: Today we are going to learn about accidents in the classroom and the workplace. ASK: What kind of accidents do you think you would see in the classroom? ASK: What kind of accidents do you think you would see in the workplace? ASK: Why do you think these accidents happened? Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved. 3 ASK: Is it the same reasons for both places? Explain: Character traits such as: ethics, leadership, integrity, honesty, work habits, and teamwork, as they relate to the classroom and workplace. SHOW: Pictures to demonstrate these from the local area around the school, so the students can relate to them. ASK: How do you think these character traits affect accidents in the classroom and workplace? SAY: For our assignment today, you are going to work as a team to research what kind of accidents can happen in the workplace as compared to the classroom, and then you will illustrate the research findings by designing a PowerPoint presentation on safety. You will make a 3-5 minute team presentation to the class. Outline Outline (LSI Quadrant II): Instructors can use the PowerPoint presentation, slides, handouts, and note pages in conjunction with the following outline. MI Outline Notes to Instructor I. Identify what is safety A. What are accidents in workplace and classroom? B. Identify safety around the student. C. Discuss why it is important what might happen if you do not have safety. Teacher should review presentation for terms. II. Show the PowerPoint on accidents A. Identify general safety in the workplace. B. Identify safety terms. C. Identify safety requirements for Industry. C. Summarize and compare safety in industry to safety in the classroom and at home. Teacher presents PowerPoint and expands on it. III. Teachers present safety PowerPoint assignment A. Student teams research classroom and workplace accidents 1. identify industry safety regulations 2. identify safety hazards B. Students identify safety in the classroom and the workplace C.

The teacher should not just read it or let the students read it. Explain and give personal examples as they go. As students are brain storming ideas for their presentation, walk around the class and help to guide the students’ discussion. Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Students should be monitored while they are doing research and preparing the PowerPoint presentation to insure they are on task. Summary Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV): Question: What have we learned about safety in the classroom as compared to safety in the workplace from this lesson? Answer: You might want to guide the students into answering this question. Question: What do you think we will need to know in order to work safely in our classroom? Answer: We will need to go over all the rules for each piece of equipment we will be working with and any other classroom safety rules. Evaluation Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III): Watch the students in their discussion to evalute how much they have learned. Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV): The formal assessment will be the evaluation of the safety PowerPoint presentation they designed and made and the safety rubric provided with this lesson. Extension Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV): Ask the students to start exploring and writing up what rules they think will be needed to work in the classroom safely.

Or, a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm; however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency situation. 2. Ethics - Is concerned with standards, rules or guidelines for morally or socially approved conduct, such as being honest or trustworthy or acting in the best interest of a society. Ethics addresses questions about morality - that is, concepts such as good and bad, noble and ignoble, right and wrong, justice and virtue. 3. Integrity – Moral excellence or having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one’s actions. Integrity has to do with consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations and outcomes. 4. Honesty – Fair and just, free of deceit and untruthfulness, sincere. Honesty refers to a facet of moral character and denotes positive, virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness along with the absence of lying, cheating, or theft. 5. Work Habits - An acquired pattern of work behavior that often occurs automatically. Work routines that are repeated regularly. 6. Timeline – Often used in education to help students and researchers with understanding events and trends for a particular subject. Timelines convey a sense of change over time. 7. Management Plan – Refers to strategy for planning and organizing a project. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved. 7 Safety Project Objective: Students will work in teams to complete a research project on accidents found in the workplace, compare them to accidents found in the classroom and make a presentation to the class. Determine as a team what you believe to be the cause of the accidents to see if the same kinds of accidents could happen in both places or just in one place or the other. Select pictures of accidents in the workplace with information on what caused the accident. Select pictures of accidents in the classroom with information on what caused the accidents. Team members should comment on how they saw ethics, integrity, honesty, work habits and organizational skills of the organization where the accidents happened. Research of classroom and workplace accidents must: 1) Identify industry safety regulations. 2) Identify safety hazards. PowerPoint presentation must include: 1) Cover slide with title of presentation. 2) Objective slide. 3) Pictures of accidents in the classroom and workplace with information on what caused the accidents. 4) Reference page for where you found your information. Class presentation must: 1) Be between 3 to 5 minutes. 2) Share the roles of each team member. 3) Include a report on how the members functioned as a team to complete the project. The teacher will schedule your team’s presentation. Your presentation will be graded according to the rubrics. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012.
