Pinning for Tree Safety Ideas

FIre Forensics is a virtual module with supporting classroom investigations about the science of fire and the process of fire investigation. This module is a collection of videos, virtual interactions, experiments and demonstrations, and challenges and supports NGSS in physical science for middle school. The XplorlabsFire Forensics: Claims and Evidence module supplement lessons on physical science addressing and reinforcing understanding in the structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, conservation of energy and energy transfer. Students engage in analyzing and interrupting data, the argument from evidence using Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) as a strategy to explain the results of an investigation.

This 7 minute video is an introduction to innovations that led to solar energy technologies and the science of how solar energy is converted to electricity. This video includes how solar technologies are tested in the UL labs. This resource teaches solar energy concepts and can be as a stand-alone or in a renewable energies unit.

In this short video, students learn about grilling safety, including a UL controlled grill fire demonstrating why grills should be kept 10 feet from the house or any structure, how to check grills for leaks, and how to safely prepare raw food for grilling. These videos are a resource for families. These videos can be sent home via an email to families before summer break. They can also be shared with local summer camps and community pools. This is Part 1 of three videos.

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. This is the video/presentation page for the Wild About Safety At Home lesson. This page includes printable guides for Ambassadors, Parents, and Educators.
