We continued our discussion of lab safety, including the importance of eye protection and how to operate a fire extinguisher (see videos below).  We also began our orientation to lab equipment.  There will be an assessment on lab safety & lab equipment identification on Tuesday, 9/5.

Below is a video I like to show...a good summary of lab safety in a cinema-style presentation.  Lots of parallels to the information found in our safety contract.

We continued our discussion of lab safety today.  The videos below serve as an overview of lab safety and also fire extinguisher operation.

Students became oriented to common laboratory equipment (see presentation below) along with the Bunsen Burner.  Students will have a lab practical in which they must demonstrate proficiency in operating a Bunsen Burner safely.
