Student Prior Knowledge:
First aid for falls, cuts, burns, and electrical shock. Safety rules and guidelines for a safe working environment.

Intended Learning Outcomes:
The student will know and understand the rules and guidelines for Kitchen Safety by practicing them to prevent and maintain a safe working environment for themselves and others.

Instructional Procedures:

Prior to class set up a unit, visible by the entire class for the class to identify what is wrong. This can be achieved by using a handout, or overhead if you prefer. I prefer the actual demonstration.

Give each group 3 minutes to come into the unit to identify and write down as many items wrong as they can see. After each unit has had their turn, go through the unit together and explain in more detail why it is wrong and what should be done to correct it. Give one point for each item that they have correct. Turn in papers by unit.
