What went wrong? Lab Safety Story

What went wrong? Lab Safety Story

Lab Safety Rules 

• Wear protective gear (gloves goggles, apron)

• Follow directions from the teaher 

• Tell the teacher if you spill or make a mess

• Don't eat or drink in the lab

• Clean up and wash your hands after the lab.  

Protective Gear 

What protective gear do you wear to school?

Why do we have to wear the protective gear?  

Orange Arrows 

• We keep germs out of our body by wearing a mask

• Another way we keep germs out of our body is staying 6 feet away from others.

• In our school there are orange arrows on the floor.  

• The arrows tell us where to walk so we can keep a safe distance from each other.

Follow the arrow game 

• Stand up 

• I am going to read a story about a student named Anthony who is not following the lab safety rules.  
  
  

• As I read the story, orange arrows will pop up and you have to turn the direction it tells you to.  
  
  

• Let us see how well you are able to follow the arrow's directions. 

Anthony's class was working on a science experiment about what happens if they mix together baking soda and vinegar.  

Anthony and his partner, Sarah, were working together.  

Anthony was too cool to put the googles on his eyes so he wore them on top of his head.  

When the teacher was giving directions, he and Sarah talked and and sent message on the phone.  

Because Anthony did not listen to the teacher's directions, he did not know what to do in the lab.  He saw a beaker with a white powder and was not sure if it was baking soda so he tasted it.  

Anthony put some baking soda in the beaker.  He did not know how much to pour in (because he did not listen to the directions) so he poured in the whole box.  

Anthony grabbed the vinegar and poured it into the beaker with the baking soda.  It exploded all over the place and all over Sarah.  

Anthony told Sarah not to tell the teacher because he did not want to get into trouble.  He left the class early so he would not have to clean up the mess.  

Arrows in stores 

• Many stores now have arrows like our school to help us keep a safe distance from each other 

• The arrows can be different colors
