Watch Out! Safety Education in English B (edukacja CLIL)

Watch Out! Safety Education in English B - HandsOnLanguage.

Watch Out! is all about safety and how to protect oneself and others in dangerous situations on the roads, at home and at school, especially in situations such as accidents, blackouts, fires, earthquakes and flooding.
The worksheet encourages students to think about a specific situation and act out how they would avoid it or deal with it.
Moreover, a number of activities are also designed to explore the scientific explanation behind a given phenomenon.
