Inquiry | Hazards and Risks

We learnt how to identify the risks that hazards can cause. We used our prior knowledge to understand this activity more.

First, we talked about identifying what hazards and risks are. Hazards are something that can be used to cause harm or pain, and risks are the possibility that something will happen and cause harm or pain.

Then, we focused on finding four hazards at home, four hazards at school, four hazards in sport and four hazards in our community.

After that, we worked on identifying the risks that the hazards cause. We put our understanding of each risk and hazard into a slideshow.

The slideshow shows what the hazard is and the risks that the hazard can cause. The hazards are: sticks, keys, students, cleaning spray, siblings, toaster, pets, open windows, mud, mouthguard, arrow, oxygen tank, dust, gas, wet grass and floods.

This purpose of this activity is to use prior knowledge to understand the risks that hazards can cause.
