Making Choices: Lab Safety Booklet

It's time for back-to-school safety! This booklet is a print-and-go activity (or simply upload to a student portal as a PDF) for lab safety. Students read through and make choices on how to be safe in the lab. When they make incorrect choices, they come to a "Reteaching" page that describes the lab safety rule. Students are congratulated on acting safely when they have successfully navigated the lab scenario.

This could be used as an introduction to safety protocols, but would likely be better used as a review activity at the beginning of the school year.

This product includes the following safety rules:

⚪disposal of solids

⚪no food or drink in lab

⚪entering the lab

⚪broken glassware disposal

⚪retrieving heated glassware

⚪hot glassware & cold water

⚪chemical contamination (replacing excess into the original container)

⚪chipped/cracked glassware

⚪smelling chemicals

⚪safety goggles

⚪cutting with scalpels

Teaching Channel

Another great free resource is the Teaching Channel . I used it when I was looking for ideas on teaching middle schoolers integers. On the website, I found a video and lesson plan for a scenario a teacher set up for her students to make it more tangible. They email weekly with videos on various topics, like common core.

Freebie: Interactive 3D Models

DewWool is a newer store with many free online resources! I found the " Root Structure " diagram and thought it was too good not to share. This is for you if you need resources for students to label structures. (It also includes math and elementary education resources.) The resources appear to be simple and easy to use. One downfall, because it's free, is there are advertisements. I know this was a concern with the last school I worked at students: viewing unapproved materials via popup ads.
