Why should you clean all materials after working in the lab?

• Dirty classware may start to smell bad
• Some chemicals we use in labs may slowly dissolve glass, and if you leave them long enough holes will actually form
• Trick question - you actually don't need to wash your materials after lab as long as you remember to do it before lab next time. 

When should safety goggles be worn?

• at all times in the lab
• when you feel like it
• when liquids could splash into your eyes OR when using glassware
