Fire Safety: Stop the Heat. Fourth Grade. Fire Safety for Texans: Fire and Burn Prevention Curriculum Guide.
Texas State Commission on Fire Protection, Austin.
This booklet comprises the fourth grade component of a series of curriculum guides on fire and burn prevention. Designed to meet the age-specific needs of fourth grade students, its objectives include: (1) understanding principles of extinguishing fires, (2) investigating issues of peer pressure related to fire setting, (3) developing self-motivation to effect changes with family involvement, and (4) exploring the role of the fire service in the community. Texas essential elements of instruction that may appropriately be integrated with the fire prevention curriculum are listed. The booklet's three sections provide lesson plans, teacher materials, and student materials. The five lessons are: "Science of Fire"; "Pressure--Off"; "Smoke and Gases"; "Safe Get-Away"; and"Emergencies." Each lesson plan includes objectives; a list of materials; and suggestions for a focus activity, presentation of content, guided and independent practice, reteaching, enrichment, and closure. A pretest/posttest is provided, along with activity sheets to be photocopied. A scope and sequence chart covering kindergarten through high school is also presented. (JDD)
