Basic 8 Career Technology Term 1 Week 4 Lesson Plan

Revise with learners to review their understanding in the previous lesson.

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: First-aid box; Sterile gauze; Triangular bandage. Learners inspect and safely handle each item, then use the items in the practical health, food, materials, or workshop task below. Brainstorm learners to explain the following; - First Aid - It is a help given to an injured/sick person till full medical treatment is available. - First Aid Box – is a box contain chemical substances and other items needed to treat minor accidents. Guide learners identify and discuss the contents of a First Aid box. E.g., plaster, gauze, scissors, methylated spirit. Learners in groups discuss some forms of accidents that occurs in the kitchen and sewing workshops. Example: cuts, burns, scalds, falls, electric shock, fainting, choking, suffocation, needle pricks, swallowing of pins, fire outbreaks, demonstrate how to administer first aid to persons affected with any of the following: - Cuts: this is a long, narrow incision in the skin made by a sharp object.

How to administer first aid: After holding the burns under cool running water, apply cool wet compresses until the pain subsides. Learners in groups discuss the various effects of kitchen and workshop accidents. Have learners suggest how each type of workshop accident discussed can be prevented. Assessment 1. What is meant by first Aid 2. Discuss the necessity of a first aid box in the kitchen or workshop. 3. When is first Aid administered to a patient? 4. Identify five kinds of accidents that occurs at the workshop.

Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson. Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.

Share performance indicators with learners.
