Boating Safety Classroom Videos & Lesson Activities
By now you know that reading information on boating safety can help you learn about it, right? You also learned that watching the right kind of boating safety videos help you learn and retain that knowledge. But research shows that to reshape someone’s safety behavior usually requires two more key elements; 1) making them a stakeholder in outcomes, 2) having them interact with their peers in those behaviors. And both of those things require something called “critical thinking”.
Although that sounds like a tall educational order, it can be accomplished with a combination of using an educational video with a peer-driven interactive lesson activity. And that’s exactly what you’ll find below. These classroom video-lesson activity combos are designed for Middle School and High School education with actual correlations to Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards so they are “teacher ready”, and unlike a lot of packaged lessons, they’re totally free. And because of their educational quality, many are used by PBS LearningMedia and Stride Learning; two of the nation’s top online education providers.
So, pump some life into your classroom learning while helping save lives by having your teacher download and use these vetted educational resources on boating safety.
