Halloween Safety Tips

Using the data from two burns in the fire science lab, students will make conclusions about the impact of ventilation on a fire. Students will present their claims based on the evidence presented in the graphs and learn why this skill is critical for both firefighters and the women and men investigating the fire’s origin and cause. This dataset offers an opportunity to practice interpreting real-world data from graphs and communicating a claim based on evidence and reasoning.

Solve through Science. Xplorlabs is an online learning platform incorporating modules focused on specific topics relevant to issues in science and engineering and what is relevant to students’ everyday lives. Designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and real-world science and engineering challenges.

Timon and Pumbaa show children the importance of being Safety Smart when they are traveling by vehicle or by foot. Key Safety Concepts: slow down, pay attention, use proper safety equipment, don't distract. Join Timon and Pumbaa as they travel the globe in style - and safety! This hilarious and helpful adventure explores safe practices in travel, whether by bus, car, motor scooter, plane, train, boat - or ostrich! Life is a journey, so make sure yours is a safe one, regardless of where you’re traveling and wherever you’re going - thanks to Timon and Pumbaa. This is the video/presentation page for the Wild About Safety Healthy and Fit lesson. This page includes printable guides for Ambassadors, Parents and Educators

In this investigation, students make observations of the timing, behavior, and smoke of different fuels as they burn. Students build a calorimeter to measure the heat of combustion of common household items or food items. If your classroom has the proper ventilation and equipment, directions are provided for building a calorimeter for classroom investigation. For classrooms without materials or without proper ventilation, students can watch the interactive video of our UL Fire Experts in the fire research lab to make observations and measure heat of combustion.

Timon and Pumbaa show students how to stay safe at home. Key Safety Concepts: smoke alarms, overloaded electrical outlets, electrical heaters. Timon and Pumbaa from Disney’s The Lion King are Wild About Safety®. With their Safety Smart® Checklist in hand, the two friends inspect a possible new home to make sure it is a safe place to live. Their investigation turns up plenty of safety problems, and in the end, Timon and Pumbaa decide there’s no place better than the home they’re in now.
