Don’t Feel the Burn!

Children move about using different modes of independent transportation including bicycles, skateboards, and snowboards. This collection of fun videos shows children being reminded in some laugh-out-loud ways to remember their safety equipment. There's even a video about the dangers of 'smartphone' walking. The videos can be used in school classrooms, afterschool programs, or at home.

Survey results about children's instincts in emergency situations from a survey conducted by UL in 2009. The survey included questions for both parents and children grades K-5. The study suggested that parents have an opportunity to build children's "Safety IQ" including information about emergency events, hazardous objects, and who to go to in case of an emergency. The study also showed where parents and children got information about safety. Questions and responses by percentages are reported here. Survey results can be used to determine the highest need areas for children to build safety awareness.

This is a video we discover the history of wind being harnessed for energy, the physics of motion, and the importance of innovation. This resource and video can be used to supplement a force and motion unit or as a supplement to renewable energies studies.

Inside UL's laboratories, lithium-ion batteries are pushed to the extreme so when it comes to evaluating the safety limits of mobile devices, like hoverboards, engineers understand how the batteries will operate within the device even under extreme conditions. In these videos, students can watch the drop test and projectile test filmed at the labs. This video supplements lessons on safety science and engineering, engineering and design, and energy. The video can also be used to introduce UL Xplorlabs Portable Electrical Power. See the News and Events page for articles about UL battery safety testing and safety standards created for lithium-ion batteries.
