# Slides 1.1: Hunt the Hazard

Slide outline for Lesson 1.1. Fourteen slides. The six station photo slides double as the stations for the no-kitchen version and as the review slides before the Kitchen Safety Exam. [Sal: replace each described image with a photo of your own staged station; take them the day you set the hazards.]

## Slide 1: Hunt the Hazard

- Lesson 1.1: Safe and Clean
- Today: find twelve things in this room that could hurt somebody
- I put them there
Image: a wide shot of the FACS room with the stations, nothing obviously wrong at first glance.
Notes: Leave this up while students enter. Do not say anything about the hazards yet.

## Slide 2: Do now

- Think of a kitchen you know: home, a relative's, a restaurant
- Write one thing in it that could hurt somebody
- One sentence, two minutes
Notes: Cold call four students. Write their hazards in a column on the board. Then say the hook: twelve things in this room right now, eight minutes to find them.

## Slide 3: The six hazard families

- Burns: hot pans, hot water, steam, the oven
- Cuts: anything sharp
- Falls: anything you can slip or trip on
- Fire: anything that can catch
- Electrical: cords, plugs, water near outlets
- Food contamination: germs getting into food
Image: a row of six small pictures, one per family: a steaming pot, a pair of shears, a wet floor sign, a flame, a plug, a raw chicken next to bread.
Notes: The rule to say out loud: if it can burn, cut, trip, spark, or make you sick, it is a hazard. Students copy the six families onto the handout header.

## Slide 4: Rules of the hunt

- Look, do not touch
- Write, do not fix
- Whisper
- 90 seconds per station, then the reset cue: lights, countdown, hands empty
- Teams of four, one clipboard, everyone writes
Notes: Say "look, write, leave it" twice before the timer starts. Students who fix a hazard cost their team the station.

## Slide 5: Station 1

Image: a stove with a pot on the front burner, handle turned out over the edge of the stove into the walkway; a toaster cord draped across the back burner.
Notes: Two hazards here: burns (handle) and electrical (cord). Most teams find the handle; about half find the cord.

## Slide 6: Station 2

Image: the sink area; a wet dish towel on the floor in front of the sink; an upper cabinet door left open at head height.
Notes: Falls (towel). The open cabinet is the one students argue about; accept it as a hazard in any family with a reason.

## Slide 7: Station 3

Image: a sink full of soapy water; the tip of a pair of kitchen shears just visible under the suds.
Notes: Cuts. Ask in the debrief: if you could not see it, how would you know it was there? Answer: you would not, which is why sharp tools never go in the sink.

## Slide 8: Station 4

Image: a cutting board with a labeled package of raw chicken (a prop) touching a loaf of sliced bread.
Notes: Food contamination. This slide introduces the words cross contamination, taught in Lesson 1.2.

## Slide 9: Station 5

Image: a counter with a spray bottle that has no label, sitting next to a bowl of fruit; an oven mitt with a hole in the thumb hanging on the oven handle.
Notes: The unlabeled bottle is the hazard nobody finds. Save it for Lesson 1.3, where the Safety Data Sheets come in. The mitt is burns.

## Slide 10: Station 6

Image: a stove with a roll of paper towels sitting on the counter so close that the loose end touches the burner grate; a wet oven mitt draped on the oven door.
Notes: Fire (paper towel) and burns (wet mitt). Ask in the debrief what steam does to wet cloth.

## Slide 11: Your team's top five

- Of everything you found, which five could hurt someone the worst in this room?
- Rank them 1 to 5
- One sentence each: why is it that serious?
- Everyone writes the team's list on their own sheet
- 8 minutes
Notes: Grade 6 teams do a top three. Grade 8 teams also write which Room and Lab Agreement rule each one breaks.

## Slide 12: Debrief

- One reporter per team: your number 1 and why
- The class answers: what stops it?
- The ones nobody found
- Class score: ___ out of 12
Notes: Write each team's number 1 on the board. Reveal any planted hazard nobody found. The count is the class score; keep it and compare with the exam pass rate.

## Slide 13: Exit card

- 3 hazards you found today
- 2 prevention steps you will use at home
- 1 question you still have about kitchen safety
Notes: Three students read one line aloud. Sort the cards into "got it" and "needs more" before the next period.

## Slide 14: Tomorrow

- Germs you cannot see
- Handwashing, the danger zone, cross contamination
- Optional: find one hazard in your kitchen at home and fix it or tell an adult
Notes: One line. Leave it up while they pack.
