Wildfire Prevention Conducting School Programs Guide - National ...

Presentation techniques
Through the cooperation of principals and teachers, we can take
advantage of the fifth-grade basic course of study to incorporate fire
prevention and conservation into spelling, vocabulary, mathematics,
science, social studies, and physical education.
Fifth-grade fire prevention programs can range from a simple display
card to a presentation as formal as a locally sponsored Junior Fire
Fighter Program. Or, if money, personnel and time allow, fire
prevention programs can become as comprehensive as you want.
The sixth-grade program can be patterned almost entirely after the
fifth grade, but it should be more detailed, taking advantage of
increased maturity.
At each of these levels, students understand cause-and-effect
relationships. Emphasize these relationships when presenting a
message about fire prevention and the use, sharing and appreciation of
public lands.
