Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify woodshop hazards in staged and real workstation settings and explain how PPE, hand-tool habits, machine guards, and material storage reduce injury risk.
Students will be able to investigate one assigned woodshop tool or machine by collecting observation notes, safety rules, and use procedures from demonstrations, labels, and peer or adult input.
Students will be able to evaluate woodshop safety practices by comparing alternatives using criteria such as safety, reliability, cost, and environmental impact.
Students will be able to design and justify a workstation-specific safety poster and presentation that communicates correct procedures for PPE, tool use, machine prep, storage, and material handling.
Students will be able to collaborate on an action plan for posting, explaining, and maintaining safety guidelines at the correct woodshop workstations.
Products
Woodshop Safety Investigation Notebook
Students compile their own investigation record for one assigned tool or machine, including hazard notes, procedure notes, source observations, and a personal analysis of safe use. The notebook shows how the student refined questions, documented evidence, and justified conclusions about the workstation.
Workstation Safety Presentation and Poster Set
Teams create a formal presentation and matching poster for a specific woodshop workstation, synthesizing each member's evidence into shared findings, visuals, and recommendations. The final product must explain tool uses, appropriate protective gear (PPE), procedures for safe operation, and clean up steps.
