A hazard can cause harm. A safety step must match what could go wrong. We will move a spoonful of water onto a sponge, not use hot water or taste materials. If something is unknown, leave it alone and tell the adult. Safety: Adult stays present. Keep water away from outlets and devices. No chemicals, heat, tasting or deliberate smelling. Stop: Stop for spilled water, a cracked cup or an unknown substance. Resume only after adult review; never add hot water.

Materials: Plastic cup, room-temperature water, tray and towel; Clean metal spoon and clean sponge larger than a child’s mouth; Paper and pencil 1. Before touching materials, list three possible problems: water could spill; a wet floor could be slippery; an unknown material might be unsafe. Add a matching action for each. 2. An adult approves the plan. Put the cup and sponge inside the tray, with the towel ready. State the senses rule: look and touch only approved items; no tasting; no smelling unless the adult explicitly approves. 3. Use the spoon to transfer one spoonful of room-temperature water onto the sponge. Say which safety action you are following as you move the spoon. 4. Look for water outside the tray before a second transfer. If there is any, stop and let the adult help dry it before continuing. Do not create a spill on purpose. 5. Empty the cup with adult help, dry the tray, put materials away and wash hands. Mark each planned safety action used or not needed, and explain why one mattered. Done: The learner names a risk, follows matching controls during two transfers and helps complete safe cleanup. Proof: Keep the before/after safety list. Note adult supervision, cleanup help and any stopped transfer. Stop: Stop for spilled water, a cracked cup or an unknown substance. Resume only after adult review; never add hot water.
