Help kids practice smart internet habits and stay safe online.

Educators' approach to internet safety in the classroom has changed as technology and our use of it continues to evolve. In the past, digital citizenship lessons on internet safety focused more on dos and don'ts, like do create safe passwords and don't talk to strangers online. While secure passwords are certainly important for technology users of all ages, and stranger danger is nothing to take lightly, most internet safety dilemmas are much more nuanced.

The best internet safety lessons recognize the complexity of these topics and help students build the critical-thinking skills and habits of mind to navigate the dilemmas they encounter. Included are the best internet safety lesson plans for students in grades K–12.

Folders upon folders of excellent financial literacy teaching materials!

"It is recommended to start planning instruction with the Teacher’s Guides in each module. If you are seeking a specific resource, scroll below to search."

Students explore the interface between architecture and engineering. In the associated hands-on activity, students act as both architects and engineers by designing and building a small parking garage.

Find safety information on boating and horsepower restrictions, proof of competency, recreational water activities, life jackets and personal flotation devices.

Students use their knowledge of tornadoes and damage. The students will work in groups to design a structure that will withstand and protect people from tornadoes. Each group will create a poster with the name of their engineering firm and a picture of their structure. Finally, each group will present their posters to the class.

Health product availability, importation, counterfeiting, prescription drug disposal, off-label veterinary drug use, buying drugs online and antibiotic resistance.

This video explores chemical symbols and their meanings. It shows each of the symbols used in WHMIS and provides examples of these.

This video explores the ways that hazardous substances can enter your body and impact your health. This video could be used when teaching about chemical safety in PAA or agriculture safety-related units.

Students are introduced to the biomechanical characteristics of helmets, and are challenged to incorporate them into designs for helmets used for various applications. By doing this, they come to understand the role of enginering associated with saftey products. The use of bicycle helmets helps to protect the brain and neck in the event of a crash. To do this effectively, helmets must have some sort of crushable material to absorb the collision forces and a strap system to make sure the protection stays in place. The exact design of a helmet depends on the needs and specifications of the user.

"Being a parent has never been easy, but it can be even more challenging once your kids are using the internet. Even if you're not up on the latest technologies and platforms, though, you have an important role — maybe the most important — in your kids' online lives. This guide will prepare you for the conversations you need to have with kids when they first start using digital devices, as they grow and their online activities change, and when things go wrong.
The guide is divided into three sections that each deal with a different aspect of digital citizenship, to teach your kids to Respect People's Feelings, to Respect Privacy and to Respect Property online."

Students further their understanding of the engineering design process (EDP) while applying researched information on transportation technology, materials science and bioengineering. Students are given a fictional client statement (engineering challenge) and directed to follow the steps of the EDP to design prototype patient safety systems for small-size model ambulances. While following the steps of the EDP, students identify suitable materials and demonstrate two methods of representing solutions to the design challenge (scale drawings and small-scale prototypes). A successful patient safety system meets all of the project's functions and constraints, including the model patient (a raw egg) "surviving" a front-end collision test with a 1:8 ramp pitch.

This video outlines the proper use of hearing protection and when hearing protection should be worn. This video was used in the farm safety unit for Field Crop 10 but could also be used in a Career Education classroom or PAA class.

Electrical simulation/game apps to help teach the nuiances of electical work in SAFE and protected way! These apps would be great for PAA, genius hour projects or science class! 

A cross-curricular project where students engage in a makerspace acitivity learning about electrical science, ELA script planning, and art!

This video teaches about emergency response planning on farms. It outlines what should be included in emergency response plans and why these are important.

This video is another part of the series on Emergency response planning on farms.

This video is a continuation of the emergency response planning videos targeted at agricultural safety.

Find tips on how to make emergency kits and plans. Calling 911. Also learn how to prepare for extreme weather and teach children how to cope in an emergency.

Students are introduced to safety protocols by evaluating unsafe situations, sharing their ideas with their peers, developing a list of recommended safety protocols as a class, and finally, by comparing the class list to a standard list of safety rules. This activity seeks to demonstrate the importance of safety engineering and illustrate how it helps to prevent injuries and save lives. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quiz and student handout are provided.

This video goes into detail about what actions should be taken in the event of a chemical spill. It talks about the steps as well as what to include in a chemical spill kit.
