Grade 6 · Science · Lesson 37

Build a Simple Device (Safety First)

A working device starts with a working safety plan. Before any cutting, soldering, gluing, or wiring, real engineers and scientists pause to ask three questions: What could go wrong? What protection do I need? Who is supervising me? In this lesson you learn the safety habits and the build flow that turn a fun project into a finished device — without burns, cuts, or shocks.

What this lesson teaches

1List the personal protective equipment needed before any build
2Run a quick risk assessment on tools, heat, and electricity
3Follow the four-step build flow: plan, gather, assemble, test
4Stop the build and respond safely when a hazard appears
