Safety World
PSE.com’s interactive online learning pages for children grades 3 through 7, “Electrical Safety World” and “Natural Gas Safety World” teach kids to make good choices around energy and energy equipment.
Electricity powers the appliances and computers that surround kids, and they encounter cords, outlets, and power lines every day. Electrical Safety World has interactive games for kids, including the Voltinator and Shock Blocker, which use recognizable examples and problem solving questions to teach kids how electricity works and to identify everyday hazards. Thorough instructional reading gives kids the background to translate the learning into real life.
Natural Gas Safety World includes games such as Pipewinder to teach kids safety habits around natural gas and gas-using appliances. The site also enhances children’s science education with standardsbased activities.
In the Safety World site, kids conduct fun experiments, play interactive games, complete hands-on activities, and learn skills that can prevent injuries and save lives.
The site also includes tips for parents and teachers to participate and reinforce learning at home and in the classroom.
