Safety in the Science Classroom(Elementary) Presentation by Canton City Schools Science Curriculum 2006
Safety in the Science Classroom • Eye and Personal Protection • Fire and Heat • Handling Chemicals • Safety with Plants • Safety with Animals • Disposing and Clean-Up • Emergency Procedures
Eye and Personal Protection • Wear safety goggles when working with • Chemicals • Flying objects • Fire/flame/hot objects and liquids • Cutting glass • Gases under pressure
Eye and Personal Protectioncontinued • Wear a lab apron and protective gloves when working with • Animals and plants • Chemicals • Learn about the eyewash and safety shower
Eyewash and Safety Shower EYEWASH SAFETY SHOWER
Safety Goggles, Lab Apron and Protective Gloves SAFETY GOGGLES LAB APRON PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Fire and Heat • Wear safety goggles • Tie back long hair and secure loose clothing • Do not heat FLAMMABLE liquids • Use a heat source in a safe area • Only the teacher uses the matches • Hot plates do not look hot and be aware of the electrical cord attached to the hot plate
Fire and Heatcontinued • Be careful of candle drippings- they can burn • Learn about the fire extinguisher and fire blanket • Only use glassware made for heating • Heated glassware does not look hot • Report broken glass to the teacher
The Science of Fire • Fires need three things to start and to continue to burn: • Fuel • Oxygen • Heat These three items are part of the fire triangle. Removing or disrupting one of the points will prevent the fire from starting or will extinguish the fire. Oxygen Fire Triangle Fuel Heat
Precautions BUNSEN BURNER HEATING TEST TUBES CANDLE HOT PLATE
Precautions HOT GLASS DOES NOT LOOK HOT REPORT BROKEN GLASS TO THE TEACHER
Handling Chemicals • Be careful when using instruments or equipment that contain chemicals in them- like thermometers and batteries • Never place chemicals in or near your mouth, eyes or nose • Smell solutions by waving your hand over the container • Never mix or use chemicals that are not part of the procedures in an experiment
Handling Chemicalscontinued • Wear protective gloves when handling chemicals • Always read the label before using any chemical • Report all chemical spills to the teacher immediately • Remember the use of the eyewash and safety shower. • Learn about a fume hood
Precautions WAVE YOUR HAND OVER THE SOLUTION TO SMELL IT (Whiff) READ THE LABELS OF THE CHEMICALS BEFORE USING THEM
Precautions NO HORSEPLAY IN THE LAB NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE LAB
Safety with Plants • Wash your hands after working with plants or plant parts • Wear protective gloves if you are sensitive to chemicals in plants • Do not put any plants or plant parts in your mouth
Safety with Animals • Only handle animals with teacher’s permission • Wash your hands after working with animals • Wear protective gloves and/or a lab apron when handling animals • Do not bring animals to your classroom without the teacher’s permission • Do not handle wild animals that are alive or dead

What NOT to do in the laboratory!INSTRUCTIONS • On the next slide is a picture of 36 areas in a science laboratory that are not safe. • For each area, explain what is wrong and/or what should be done to correct the situation. • Each area has been enlarged in a separate slide. • Write your answers on the paper provided.
AREA 6: What is wrong? Fume Hood
