Hidden Pictures

Purpose
  • To promote understanding that hazardous chemical products must be stored safely
Learning Outcomes

The children will be able:

  • To recognize each of the two frames used for the hazard symbols found on a picture of a real-life object
  • To determine if the hazardous product is in a safe place
Preparation
  • Photocopy a grade appropriate Hidden Pictures activity sheet for each child found in Appendix A.
How to Use
  • The child finds each hazardous chemical product and marks it, using either an "X" or circle

A sample of the hidden pictures is found below. Four different sheets are available, one each of a garage, a kitchen, a bathroom and a laundry room. In each picture, chemical products are placed in incorrect places. For example, a container with an octagon frame is on the stove, containers with the triangle frame are on the floor of the garage, etc. An option would be to indicate how many hidden pictures exist.

The actual templates for the four hidden pictures may be found in Appendix A, Hidden Pictures.

Hidden Pictures: 4 different sheets, one each of a garage, a kitchen, a laundry room, and a bathroom.
