Prior Knowledge: Risk Assessment Resources: Oxy, Hammer, Steel, anvil

Workshop safety.

Time Teachers Role Students Role

3- 5 Introduction Line students up at the door in two straight lines Students to line up in two lines

that point of the flame.

Refer to the red-hot metal and reiterate how dangerous the oxy is and
what damage it will do to skin.

Demonstrate a droplet of metal hitting the ground.
