Summary
Activity
Step 1
TEACHER NOTE: The following lesson is designed to create an awareness of safety within your classroom environment. It is imperative for students to adhere to the safety standards by working to create a classroom set of norms to be used within the Flite Test Curriculum as well as any classroom-based projects.
- If a structure is already in place, add to it, or help students connect the current safety structure to the Flite Test STEM Curriculum.
- Introduce the concept of safety and how it can make an environment more productive. See FT Safety 5 for literature around a basic safety concept.
- Introduce the FT-Safety Posters (Attached to this lesson for printing), and state their obvious meanings.
- If you have FT-Crafty Kits and materials, introduce the curriculum materials and their uses.
Step 2
CREATING THE NORMS-
TEACHER NOTE: Guide the students to create 5 norms for safety when working on Flite Test Curriculum or equivalent. With the Flite Test work area complete, have the students create 5 or more norms to follow for the rest of the school year.
Some possible norms to include on a poster, use the Flite Test stickers as an option for decorating.
