Homeschool Week 4/26-4/29: Fire Safety and First Aid Unit Study

 This week is independent reading, a read-aloud and Language Lessons.  Besides that, we are doing a week-long, hands-on unit study of fire safety and first aid.  For reference, I am using things like Red Cross videos on Youtube, first aid series on Youtube and the LIFEPAC High School Health Unit 4 book.

Monday:

  • We are watching the "Catching Fire" series on Youtube - its an Australian series on fire safety (yeah, I know, but there are no puppets or rap songs about fire safety in the videos)
  • Covering house fires
  • Escape plans
  • Kitchen fires
  • What to do if YOU catch fire
  • Smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors
  • How to work a fire extinguisher

Tuesday:

  • Going through a real first aid kit and explaining the purpose of each item
  • Wounds and bleeding
  • Sprains, Strains, Fractures and Dislocations
  • Splints

Wednesday:

  • Burns
  • Poison Control
  • Hypothermia and Frostbite
  • Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke

Thursday

  • Choking
  • CPR
  • Infant CPR
