### Lesson Plan: Dangerous Liquids #### Level: Nursery 1 #### Subject: Basic Science and Technology #### Duration: 30 minutes --- #### Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: 1. Identify and describe common dangerous liquids. 2. Understand that these liquids can be harmful. 3. Recognize basic safety practices around dangerous liquids. --- ### Materials Needed: - Pictures or illustrations of common dangerous liquids (cleaning products, medicines, gasoline, etc.) - Safe cleaning items (child-safe soap, water, etc.) - Safety gear (child-sized gloves, goggles, etc.) - Storybook or animated video about dangerous liquids (optional) - Simple worksheets with pictures for coloring and identification (if time permits) --- ### Preparation: 1. Arrange the classroom to create a circle seating for discussion and visibility. 2. Prepare the pictures or illustrations of dangerous liquids. 3. Ensure all materials are ready and safe for handling by young children. 4. (Optional) Set up a projector or tablet for the storybook or video. --- ### Lesson Steps: #### Introduction (5 minutes) 1. **Greeting and Warm-up**: - Welcome the children and sing a short welcome song to get them engaged. - Briefly chat about what they know about liquids and where they see them. 2. **Attention Grabber**: - Show a picture of a bottle of water and a bottle of bleach side by side. - Ask: “What do you think these are? Can we drink both of them? Why not?” --- #### Main Activity (15 minutes) 1. **Identification and Discussion** (10 minutes): - Show various pictures or illustrations of dangerous liquids such as cleaning products, gasoline, and certain medicines. - Discuss each item briefly, emphasizing that these liquids are "DANGEROUS." - Use simple language and repetitive phrases like "This is dangerous. Do not touch or drink!" 2. **Demonstration** (5 minutes): - Demonstrate with the safe cleaning items and safety gear how to handle liquids carefully. - Use child-safe soap and water to clean a small item, showing the correct way to handle liquids by wearing gloves and goggles. Explain that these are not harmful but still require careful handling to stay safe. --- #### Practice and Reinforcement (5 minutes) - **Interactive Activity**: - Give each child a simple worksheet with pictures of different liquids (both safe and dangerous). Have them color the dangerous liquids with a red crayon and the safe ones with a green crayon. - Go around the classroom and assist where necessary, reinforcing which liquids are dangerous and which are not. --- ### Conclusion (5 minutes) 1. **Review**: - Recap the key points by asking the students to repeat after you: “Dangerous liquids – do not touch!” - Praise them for recognizing dangerous liquids and practicing safety. 2. **Goodbye Song**: - End the class with a short goodbye song to leave them with a positive note. --- ### Assessment: - Observe students during the activity to ensure they understand the difference between dangerous and safe liquids. - Use the completed worksheets to gauge their ability to identify and categorize liquids correctly. ### Follow-up: - Encourage parents to reinforce the lesson at home by showing children safe and dangerous liquids around the house and discussing safety practices. --- #### Notes: - Always prioritize safety. Ensure that all demonstration items are non-toxic and appropriate for the age group. - Keep the atmosphere light and engaging to maintain the attention and participation of the young children.
