Lesson Overview

5.2 – Identifying Major Appliances in Your Living Space: Recognizing the key appliances in your home helps you build a system of awareness and accountability. Major appliances like the refrigerator, stove, washer, and microwave each serve unique functions that affect safety, cleanliness, and daily comfort. Learning their names and basic purposes helps you notice when something isn’t working right before it becomes dangerous. For example, if the fridge isn’t cooling or the dryer feels too hot, that’s a signal to stop and check. Becoming familiar with these items teaches independence and makes troubleshooting easier. Each appliance connects to electricity, gas, or water, meaning misuse could cause damage or injury. By observing how they are positioned and how cords or vents are arranged, you’ll understand airflow and energy flow in your space. This attention to detail turns a simple routine into a professional life skill. Knowing what you have and how it functions helps you live more safely and confidently every day.
