If a fire erupts, what should you do immediately?

• notify the teacher.

• run for the fire extinguisher.

• throw water on the fire.

Approved eye protection devices (such as goggles) are worn in the laboratory:

• to avoid eye strain.

• to improve your vision.

• only if you do not have corrective glasses.

• any time chemicals, heat, or glassware are used.

If you do not understand a direction or part of a laboratory procedure, you should

• figure it out as you do the lab.

• try several methods until something works.

• ask the teacher before proceeding.

• skip it and go on the the next part.

After completing an experiment, all chemical wastes should be

• left at your lab station for the next class.
