V. Generalization:

In this activity, I realized that our house has many hazards. It is important to identify all
the hazards in our house to keep everyone safe. We can’t avoid to have hazards in our
houses but we can lessen it. Everyone needs to know what to do when they are dealing
with hazards. Each of us should know what is the proper use of it and how to avoid danger
when using it. We can keep away ourselves from danger by educating and helping
ourselves.
