Household Demonstration How to

How to change a light bulb

What you will Need:

  • A new light bulb (if you don’t know what kind of light bulb you need you will have to first take out the old broken light bulb)
  • a screwdriver (if you have a cover)
  • something to reach the light bulb such as a chair counter or using your bed

Safety Precautions:

  • if you can make sure that whatsoever you are using to get to the light bulb is sturdy
  • try to have someone with you (in case you fall or need something)
  • If you forget to turn off the power, you might get a electric shock – in this case someone will need to call the Emergency Management Services on 10177

How to fix a light bulb:

  1. take off the cover (if you have one, try to make sure you also do not lose any of the screws)
  2. turn off the electricity this is because you do not want to shock yourself or get electrocuted
  3. take out the old broken light bulb
  4. screw in the new light bulb when doing this you do not want to screw the light bulb in too much. It must be finger tight.
  5. turn on the power to see if the light bulb works if the light bulb works and you have a cover turn off the electricity. This will ensure when you are putting the cover back on you are not blinded by the light.

During this project it made me realise how everything is connected, even if you are now aware of it. For example, when fixing a tyre, you might encounter physical or emotional stress because you cannot get the nuts off. You might encounter stress if you have not eaten a meal because you have no time because you have to study, which also involves your life skills and coping mechanisms. If you have a blown lightbulb ad you do not have any light you can encounter environmental stress. Everything in this project is connected and that I why I believe these demonstrations are so important to develop yourself in society. Because these simple tasks teach you life skills you need for the rest of your life. The transition between school and university may be hard but it is lessons like this that will make it easier for you😊😊enjoy!!
