Lesson plan overview
Introduction
The teacher specifies the subject of the lesson, the lesson objectives in a language the student understands, and the criteria for success.
The teacher asks the students to identify the dangers they face when water is leaking from pipes. The teacher stresses out that the answers should concern threats to people's safety and not damage to their homes.
Realization
The teacher divides the students into groups, max. 5 students each. Each team receives: a bowl, water, a plastic bag, an eraser and a cotton cloth. The students check which materials prevent slipping, working according to the instructions from the abstract (“Observation 1”).
After completing the observations, the students present their conclusions. The teacher asks the students to read in the abstract the summary of “Observation 1” and confront it with their observations.
Students do interactive exercise no. 1 in the form of an individual activity.
The teacher distributes worksheets to the students (Appendix 1). The teacher asks a volunteer student to measure the temperature of his/her body using a fever thermometer. The students write the readout
down in the worksheets.The teacher plays the film and asks the students to note down while watching it the temperature of boiling water and water vapour.
The selected student writes the readouts on the board.
The teacher asks the students about the dangers of hot water and water vapour produced during boiling.
The teacher asks the students to name the rules for safe handling of hot water and to explain how to avoid slipping on a wet floor.

Texts and recordings
Safe water
In a bathroom, you can easily slip on a wet floor. Therefore, when leaving this room, make sure that the taps are turned off, preventing the floor from being flooded. Do not throw materials or substances into the toilet bowl that would prevent water from draining and cause flooding. If water spills on the floor, wipe it off. In a damp and poorly ventilated apartment, molds harmful to our health may develop.
Scalding with hot water is also dangerous. When making tea, you must pour hot water into the cup carefully. Do not place the cup of hot tea on the edge of a table so as not to knock it off or scald yourself. You should also look out for hot pots and steam that escapes while cooking.
Gas and electric home appliances are safe if they are in working order and used as intended, away from water.
Handle with care hot water, hot appliances and cookware as well as the steam created while cooking, to avoid scalding.
