Lab Safety

If you are not sure what to do during a lab activity:

• guess
• change lab partners
• ask a teacher
• just sit quietly and do nothing

I can perform my own experiments with lab materials ___.

• I am sure it is safe to do so.
• Whenever I want to.
• When all of my group is ready.
• Never.

When should you look over the experiment instructions?

• When your teacher tells you to
• Before starting the lab
