How to educate children to use electricity safely
Electric shock is a common accidental injury accident in daily life. According to statistics, the number of children killed by electric shock accounts for1o.6% of the accidental deaths of children. Recently, it was reported on the Internet that Liu Wei, who was physically disabled and determined to be known as the "expert on broken arms in China", had to amputate his leg because he was playing near the transformer in front of his house when he was a child, and he almost lost his life because he didn't understand the dangers of high-voltage electricity. In recent years, television, newspapers, publications, etc. Other casualties caused by children's lack of knowledge about safe use of electricity have been reported continuously, and the lessons are heavy and painful. Educating children to use electricity safely must be based on their physical and mental development level and characteristics. In terms of educational methods, teachers can combine demonstration with explanation and games, pay attention to the combination of positive guidance and random education, and implement the knowledge education of safe electricity use for children. In many years of work practice, I think the following methods and approaches can be adopted: First, let children fully grasp the relevant knowledge and content of safe electricity use and educate them on safe electricity use. First of all, let children master the relevant knowledge and contents of electricity, such as: what is electricity, the types of electricity, what is lightning, what is static electricity, its application, its harm, how to use electricity safely and so on. Teachers can tell children in easy-to-understand language that electricity is a natural phenomenon, dry objects rub against each other to produce static electricity, and rain and thunder will produce lightning. There are two kinds of electricity: one is called positive electricity and the other is called negative electricity. Electricity has a wide range of uses, which can be used in industry, agriculture, medical care and daily life, and should be used in scientific research, military, aerospace, navigation and other high-tech fields. Teachers should introduce various household appliances and applications, and tell children that electricity is closely related to people's production and life. Although electricity is very important to people's lives, improper application will cause harm. Teachers should let children master some knowledge about safe use of electricity through various methods and channels: 1. Learn to read the signs of safe use of electricity. Red: used to indicate the information of prohibition and stop; When you meet the red sign, never touch it. Yellow: used for warning, such as "beware of electric shock" and "pay attention to safety". 2. Understand that electric current passing through human body will kill people. All metal products are conductive. Do not use these tools to directly touch the power supply. For example, don't touch or probe the inside of the power socket with your hands or conductive objects (such as wire, nails, pins and other metal products). Usually, water is also conductive. Electrical appliances should be careful not to get wet, so don't touch them with wet hands. For example, when the TV is on, don't wipe it with a wet towel to prevent water from entering the cabinet and causing short circuit, machine damage and personal injury. Don't touch the plug with wet hands, it is easy to get an electric shock. 4. If you find someone getting an electric shock, try to turn off the power in time (you can call an adult). Don't save people directly with your hands. You should ask adults for help, not handle it yourself to prevent electric shock. Wood, rubber, plastic and other objects do not conduct electricity and are called insulators. These tools can directly contact the power supply and will not cause electric shock. When someone gets an electric shock, dry wooden sticks and bamboo poles can be used to separate the contacts from the live appliances. 5. Know and understand the main power switch, and learn to turn off the main power in an emergency. 6. Unplug the electrical appliance immediately after use. Don't pull the wire hard when unplugging the power plug, in case the insulation of the wire is damaged, causing electric shock. 7. Don't disassemble or install the power cord, socket and plug at will. Even if it is as simple as installing a light bulb, it should be turned off first and carried out under the guidance of parents. 8. When you see a fallen wire, don't hide far away, and don't touch the bare thread with your hands. 9. There are many dangers beside the switch box. Don't play near the switch, and don't touch the switch at will to avoid short circuit and leakage. Don't play near transformers, high-voltage lines, etc. And don't touch these things. 1O .. lightning protection in rainy days. When it rains, thunders and lightning flashes, turn off the TV and stereo, unplug the power supply, and try not to go out to prevent lightning strikes. Second, achieve the educational goal 1 through various ways and means. Deepen children's impression through the creation of environment. The influence of the environment on children is subtle. Kindergartens advertise to parents and children by setting up billboards, publishing some electricity safety knowledge or cartoons, and hanging safe electricity slogans. What's more important is to put a unified safe electricity sign next to all kinds of electrical appliances, power supplies, wires, sockets, switches and switches to remind children to pay attention to electricity safety at all times. 2. Achieve educational goals through teaching activities. Teachers can design some knowledge of safe use of electricity into special teaching activities, with vivid teaching AIDS, pictures or courseware to educate children: for example, in the teaching activities of "various lights" in large classes, children can understand the common sense of safe use of electricity by knowing various lights; Nave's teaching activity "How to Prevent Lightning", through the teacher's vivid narration, the children know how to prevent lightning: they can't run under the big tree to avoid thunderstorm and lightning; Don't hide under the telephone pole; Don't hide in other heights; You can't hide in wet places. Teachers can choose some completed stories, or integrate the knowledge of safe electricity use into their own stories, so that children can not only experience interesting storylines, but also accept some knowledge of safe electricity use. 3. Playing games to achieve educational goals is children's favorite form of learning. Through planned educational goals and forms, teachers integrate some knowledge of safe electricity use into the game, so that children can not only experience the joy of the game, but also get corresponding education. For example, in the role game of "Household appliances are really fun", let children play the role of "salespersons" in electrical stores to introduce the functions, usage and precautions of TV, refrigerator, computer, air conditioner, hair dryer and electric iron to "customers", with special emphasis on the precautions for safe use of electricity. Another example is the situational game "Come and save the electric bear!" Children play with different animals, using dry bamboo poles, wooden sticks, etc. To turn on the "wire" that electrocuted the bear, call "120" to rescue the "injured". In addition, teachers can also provide children with some hygienic and safe game supplies, such as dry batteries, light bulbs, wires and so on. Let the children experience: Why is the light bulb on? Use dry plastic sheets, combs, pieces of paper, etc. Let children experiment with the interesting phenomenon of "friction electrification" and so on. In addition, children's knowledge can be enriched through cartoons, cartoons and related video materials, multimedia courseware, etc. 4. Carry out special lectures on electricity safety knowledge In order to further strengthen the electricity safety education for children, kindergartens can organize teachers, children and parents to give special lectures on electricity safety knowledge at an appropriate time. The lecture can employ full-time staff of the local power company, or invite parents and friends with knowledge and experience in this field to enrich everyone's relevant knowledge through the lecture, so that children can understand: don't play with the electrical plug, please plug it in by adults if necessary; Don't touch wires and power switches with your hands; Before you learn to operate, you can't just press the knobs and buttons on the electrical appliance. Some household appliances can only be operated by adults and cannot be touched casually. Pay attention to saving electricity, turn off the lights, turn off the TV in time after watching, and so on. 5. The close cooperation between family synchronous education and kindergarten education is inseparable from the support and cooperation of parents. In order to achieve the consistency and unity of education and consolidate the educational effect, children's safe electricity use education must be carried out simultaneously at home, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
