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

Keeping your work area neat and clean is important because:

• My teacher is a neat-freak
• I won't lose my supplies in the clutter.
• It keeps the room from looking messy.
• It helps prevent accidents.
