Fire Safety: Grades 3-5

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Three lessons stress the importance of fire safety. Lesson one presents several articles listing fire safety do's and don'ts; using their newly-found knowledge, learners rewrite a newspaper article about a fire incident so that precautions are taken instead. Lesson two looks at the chemistry behind a fire. Lesson three challenges pupils to write, rehearse and roleplay a scenario that highlights fire safety, then create a corresponding poster.
