Build kitchen-safety confidence before students begin cooking with Kitchen Safety Scenario Challenge: What Would You Do?, a ready-to-print activity designed for middle and high school FACS, Foods & Nutrition, Culinary Arts, and Food Science classrooms.

Students work through 8 realistic kitchen situations involving cross-contamination, spills, hot cookware, broken glass, smoking oil, electrical hazards, knife safety, and safe food tasting. Instead of simply memorizing rules, students identify what is unsafe, consider what could happen, and determine the safest response.

The activity concludes with a safety-prioritization challenge and reflection, encouraging students to think about which hazards require immediate attention and which safety practices they want to remember when cooking begins.

Includes:

• 8 realistic kitchen-safety scenarios
• 4 spacious scenario-response pages
• Safety decision and reflection page
• Complete teacher answer key
• Possible consequences and correct safety practices
• Teacher implementation notes

Perfect for the first week of class or before the first cooking lab, with a suggested completion time of 20–30 minutes.
