Question 1

Instructions

Jigsaw puzzles usestrategies that develop problem-solving skills and boost logical reasoning.People complete jigsaw puzzles individually and in groups. In groups,cooperative learning is used to help each other solve the puzzle and buildcomprehension. Individually, it helps build critical thinking. Online, it isdifficult to solve the puzzle and build comprehension or even criticalthinking; however, take one piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and discuss the onepiece as to what it is; when it activates; where it is used; as well as how andwhy it is used. Have you ever seen a sprinkler head activated? Where? Did itcontrol or extinguish the fire?

Part 5: Scenario-BasedCase Study

For this assignment,you will submit Part 5 of the scenario-based case study course project, whichis due in Unit VIII. You should evaluate and revise the recommendations asneeded during the process for each previous unit as you learn more during theprogression of this course. Please continue to draw upon your imagination tothink creatively on potential concerns with fire and explosive hazards, firecontrols, and fire and emergency management.
