1. One of the most important safety measures you should consider before riding a bike is wearing a special piece of equipment over your head to protect you. What is this item called?

From Quiz Cycle

Answer: Helmet

A helmet is essential when riding a bike or another vehicle such as a motorcycle. The reason for this is because, should you fall, your head needs to be protected against any impact that could damage your brain permanently. The NHTSA suggests parents to make of the phrase "no helmet, no riding" a rule in order for children to know that it is an indispensable piece of equipment. The helmet should fit snugly on your head using the foam pads, and the chinstrap should be buckled at all times while riding. You could also use knee and elbow pads for extra safety, especially if you are riding for the first time.

From Quiz Some Sun Safety

Answer: sun protection factor

SPF stands for "sun protection factor". It measures how well the sunscreen blocks harmful UVB rays from the sun that cause sunburn, skin damage, and skin cancer. This SPF does not measure how well the sunscreen prevents damage from UVA rays, however.

From Quiz Going Cooking?

Answer: wash in warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds

When preparing food, hands should be washed often in warm, soapy water. It is very important to do this for about 20 seconds after handling raw meat or eggs so that the spread of bacteria can be prevented. The use of soap is very important. Always remember that proper handwashing is effective in eliminating a large percentage of food poisoning. By the way, wiping your hands on your apron is not hygienic at all.

From Quiz Keep Right

Answer: Scream for help and run away towards a safe place/people

You should never get into a car with a stranger. Run away as fast as possible. It is safer to travel with a group of friends than to be alone on the streets. Never try to help a stranger. Leave that to an adult.

From Quiz Call the Police

Answer: Police

Never, ever, EVER, accept a lift from a stranger as they could harm you. Always check with an adult first, either your parent or a teacher. If no adult is nearby, then run fast and contact the police as soon as possible. If you have time, make a note of the car details; the model and colour, and ideally the number plate as well. Get a description of the driver - male or female, young or old, blond hair or dark hair. It is amazing what you will be able to remember in a short space of time which could help the police with their investigations.

From Quiz Firestarter

Answer: Match

From Quiz Car Safety

Answer: A seatbelt

Seatbelts are very important. If you don't wear a seatbelt and the car crashes, you might get hurt very badly. Never assume that your parents are good drivers, so you won't crash. A bad driver might crash into your car and you will get hurt.

From Quiz Better Safe Than Sorry

Answer: Water

From Quiz Some Sun Safety

Answer: 15 or 30

Most experts recommend that the SPF be only 15 or 30. A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays, and an SPF of 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays. However, a sunscreen with an SPF of 50 provides only a minimal increase of blocking 98% of UVB rays. You might wonder why you shouldn't just go ahead and buy the 50 for more protection, even if that protection is only 1% more. Experts say that people with sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher tend to apply less of it or fail to reapply more when it is needed. For ANY sunscreen to be completely effective, a person needs to apply two tablespoons (about the size of a golf ball) to all areas of your body that are exposed to the sun and to reapply the sunscreen after two hours or after swimming or sweating. Applying only one tablespoon of sunscreen with an SPF of 30 reduces the protection from 97% to 5.5%!

From Quiz Weather Safety For Kids

Answer: Bathroom

Sheltering in a tub in the bathroom during a tornado is often recommended by weather experts. The walls and framework of bathrooms tend to be stronger than other rooms: the pipes in the walls provide extra strength, and the heavy tub gives extra support from below.
