Lab safety is not only important in the classroom, but it is also important to follow
the rules at home, or on the bus. Accidents can happen anywhere and if proper safety
precautions aren't followed, someone can get hurt.
Last year in New York, students were burned when they were showing off their
science project at the bus stop.
In Rhode Island, a student kept chemicals in his locker for a later experiment, the
chemicals combined and exploded hurting students in the hallway.
In Brazil, students were practicing their experiment in a friend's garage, without
adult supervision, when there was an explosion. The explosion killed all 4 students.
Science can be a lot of fun but it is also dangerous if you aren't following safety
precautions.
Questions: Answer on the following slide.
1. What is needed from adults when conducting experiments at home?
2. What should always be followed when conducting experiments?
3. Why are chemicals so dangerous?
4. What is science?
YO

1. Follow all safety measures is needed from adults when they conducting any experiment at home in order to prevent any damage occurs due to that experiment.

2. Safety rules should always be followed when conducting an experiment at any place such as at home, class room and laboratory etc in order to avoid any accident.

3. Some chemicals are very dangerous because they are flammable and catch fire when allow it to the heat source. Some chemicals also cause suffocation by absorbing all the oxygen from the environment and as a result death occurs.

4. Science is a systematic study of physical objects through observation and experiments. Science is a knowledge gain from experiments.
