About

After registering for the Safety Sleuth Program, you will work with your students to explore your surroundings, think about what is safe and unsafe, and make smart, safe choices, especially regarding electrical safety.  Your students will then share their newfound knowledge with others. Just like a smart sleuth, they will bring their curiosity and pay attention to detail to make a difference at home and school.

The Safety Sleuth program is designed for students in Grades 3-5. It provides comprehensive safety lessons, a teacher guide, a class set of student guides, and all the necessary materials for a corresponding student poster project.

Students Will:

LOOK – Discover many ways they can “see the situation” and determine what is safe and unsafe.
THINK – Learn to use and assess situations and act responsibly and safely in their homes and community. Learn to communicate clearly and in detail about situations that may feel unsafe.
DO – Take responsibility by making informed choices about electrical safety and other areas where they may be unsafe. Take positive actions to be careful.
SHARE – Learn how to explain to others what happened, where it happened or inform and inspire others to be careful and why.

Teacher Guides are provided along with the Student Guides. Lessons are cross-curricular and are aligned to both the Science and Engineering Practices from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the Ten Themes of Social Studies from the National Council for Social Studies (NCSS), the New York State English and Language Arts (ELA) standards and the Core SEL Competencies from the Collaborative for Social, Academic and Social Learning (CASEL).

After completing the lessons, teachers will choose five student poster projects from each class to submit to PSEG Long Island for consideration in their digital gallery. These projects will showcase the students’ understanding and expression of electrical safety.
