Hands-on experiences are essential to learning in science class, but safety must be the first concern!
The following rules exist for your safety.
These rules help to prevent accidents in the lab and allow for more efficient work to occur.
When first entering the science room, do not touch any equipment, chemicals or other materials until you are instructed to do so.
NEVER enter the room if unsupervised.
Stay focused & pay attention to all written and verbal instructions.
Ask questions before proceeding if you are unsure.
Know what you are to do before you do it.
Misbehavior CANNOT and WILL NOT be tolerated! Don’t monkey around!
Immediately notify your teacher of any unsafe conditions you observe.
Work with your group at your station only.
Report all accidents immediately, no matter how small.
This includes broken glass, cuts and scrapes, chemical spills and fire.
Learn the proper techniques for handling these accidents.
Remain calm!
