Building on What Others Say: With the use of think-pair and share, learners identify sources of incidents and accidents and recommend the appropriate solution or precautionary measures. Encourage learners to respect their partners' opinion and agree on what to say before presenting to the class. Problem-Based Learning: - With the aid of case studies of laboratory incidents and accidents, lead learners to assess the effects of not adhering to safety regulations in the laboratory. - Use webbing or mind maps to organise learners' thoughts on advantages of adhering to safety regulations in the laboratory based on their experiences at home. Teaching and Learning Resources: - Safety signs - Laboratory rules and regulations document - Reports of incident and accident occurrences in laboratories - Laboratory safety manual - Fire Service - ICAO Safety - safety manual regulations Assessment (1.1.1.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning.
