Learning Objective
I can match safety equipment to specific hazards and demonstrate technical inspection procedures for car seats, helmets, smoke detectors, and safe sleep environments.
Instructional Pacing
5 MIN
The "Egg Drop" or "Helmet Fit" Hook
Demonstrate an improperly fitted helmet (loose straps, tilted back) and ask students to identify what's wrong. Briefly show the "2-Finger Rule" (2 fingers above eyebrows, 2 fingers in 'V' at ears, 2 fingers under chin strap).
10 MIN
Technical Briefing (Mini-Lesson)
Car Seats: Rear-facing (infant), Forward-facing (toddler), Booster (school age).Smoke Detectors: Photoelectric vs. Ionization; test monthly, replace every 10 years.Safe Sleep: The "ABC's" — Alone, Back, Crib.
30 MIN
Inspection Rotations
Students rotate every 7-8 minutes. Groups of 4-5. Students must use the Safety Inspection Report to document their findings. Encourage "Inspectors" to be precise and technical in their language.
Station 1: Car Seats (Photos/Props)
Station 2: Helmets (Physical Prop)
Station 3: Smoke Detectors (Diagrams)
Station 4: Crib/Sleep (Prop/Image)
5 MIN
Post-Inspection Debrief
Ask: "Which equipment had the most confusing maintenance steps?" and "What is one thing you'll check in your own home tonight?" Collect checklists for assessment.
Management Tips
Gloves: Handing out "inspection gloves" (nitrile or cotton) adds to the rigor and keeps props clean.Timers: Use a visible countdown timer for rotations to keep students focused.Roles: Assign roles (Lead Inspector, Recorder, Safety Specialist, Timekeeper).
Differentiation
Support: Provide pre-filled checklists with "Check/X" boxes for students who struggle with writing.Extension: Have advanced students research the physics of helmet impact or local smoke detector laws.Visuals: Ensure all station cards have high-contrast diagrams for ELL students.

The Pinch Test
If you can pinch the strap webbing at the shoulder, the harness is too loose.
Critical Check
"Chest clip must be level with the armpits. It keeps the harness in place during impact."
The "2-2-2" Fit Rule
Helmets
2
Above Eyes
The helmet should sit level, about two finger-widths above eyebrows.

Learning Objective
I can recognize signs of common childhood emergencies and list the critical first steps to respond safely using the Check-Call-Care sequence.
Instructional Pacing
5 MIN
Spot the Emergency (Hook)
Interactive slide game using response cards. Goal: Establish clear boundaries between "Urgent Care" and "Life-Threatening Emergency."
12 MIN
Response Foundations (Lecture)
Cover the Check-Call-Care sequence. Emphasize scene safety (Fire, Wire, Gas, Glass) and the specific criteria for calling 911 (unconscious, breathing issues, severe bleeding).
20 MIN
Group Scenario Audit
Students analyze scenario cards in groups. They must map the exact sequence of actions onto their flowchart reference. Teacher circulates to check logic.
10 MIN
Debrief & Q&A
Focus on Scenario 5 (Choking). Discuss why "back blows" are higher priority for infants than adults. Clarify the 911 dispatcher's role.
Technical Briefing: Signs & Symptoms
Respiratory Emergencies
Anaphylaxis: Swelling of face/throat, hives, rapid pulse. Requires immediate EpiPen and 911. Infant Choking: Sudden silence, gasping, face turning blue. Requires back blows and chest thrusts.
Trauma & Shock
Signs of Shock: Pale/gray skin, cool/clammy feel, rapid breathing, confusion/dizziness.Severe Bleeding: Pulsing or steady flow that does not stop with direct pressure.
Misconception Alerts
Moving Victims: Only move if there is immediate danger. Neck injuries are common in falls.911 Panic: Dispatchers are trained to coach callers. The call is the most important link in the chain.
Formative Check
Review Scenario 2 (Playground). Check if students identify "Scene Safety" first. Most skip to the victim immediately, ignoring potential falling hazards.

CRITICAL: CALL 911 IF...
Unresponsiveness
The person does not respond to voice or touch.
Breathing Problems
Gasping, wheezing, or no breathing at all.
Severe Bleeding / Burns
Bleeding that cannot be controlled; deep burns.
URGENT: LOCAL CARE IF...
Minor Scrapes / Cuts
Bleeding stops with pressure. Skin just red.
When in Doubt...
If you are unsure if an injury is life-threatening, always lean toward calling 911. Better safe than sorry.

01
Choking: Infant & Child
Phase A: Infant (< 1 Yr)
Scene Check: "Scene is safe." Tap foot for response.Positioning: Place infant face down along forearm. Head lower than chest. Support: Hold the jaw (do not cover mouth).5 Back Blows: Heel of hand. Strike firmly between shoulder blades.The Flip: Support head, flip onto back on other forearm.5 Chest Thrusts: 2 fingers, center of chest. Depress 1.5 inches.Repeat: Continue until object is out or infant is unconscious.
Phase B: Child / Adult
Identify: Ask "Are you choking?"Positioning: Stand behind victim. Wrap arms around waist.Fist Placement: Thumb side against abdomen, just above the navel. The J-Motion: Pull In and Up sharply.Repeat: Continue until object is out or victim is unconscious.

USAGE: UNCONSCIOUS BUT BREATHING NORMALLY
Near Arm: Place nearest arm at 90° (the "Stop Sign").Far Arm: Cross far arm. Back of hand against near cheek.Far Leg: Pull far knee up; foot flat on floor.The Roll: Pull far knee and shoulder to roll onto side.Airway: Tilt head back slightly to keep airway clear.
Technical Tip:
"The top leg must be at a 90-degree angle. This is the KICKSTAND that prevents the victim from rolling onto their stomach."
