Science Safety!




Welcome Parents and Students,

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking time out to visit my blog. This week we will begin our science activities with science safety.

It is very important that students know how to conduct field and laboratory investigations following home and school safety procedures and environmentally appropriate and ethical practices.

To do this, parents, practice and review with your child the procedures that students should be able to demonstrate. These include, safety practices during field and lab investigations as well as making good choices when disposing or recycling of materials.

The following website will give you a quick checklist of what safety equipment and procedures are acceptable. Science News for Kids

Even though now you are familiar with the safety procedures, you may still not be aware of all the dangerous labels that you can come across even in your own home. Safety and Chemicals is a great source that displays different chemical labels and their meanings, so you know to be cautious of them.
If you are still unsure, view this great video! The Do's and Don'ts of Lab Safety . This video shows all the basic "Do's and Don'ts" that I will be looking for in lab. (Stick around for the ending, there are some funny teacher "bloopers"!)
