Staying Safe in the Science Lab
Grade 3 Science Safety Learning to be safe scientists
Learning Objectives - I Can Statements
I can identify safety rules in the science lab I can use science tools safely I can wear proper safety equipment I can follow safety procedures during experiments
What Makes a Lab Safe?
Think about what you see in our classroom What helps keep us safe when we do science?
Essential Safety Equipment
Safety goggles protect our eyes Aprons keep our clothes clean Gloves protect our hands Closed-toe shoes protect our feet
Safety Equipment Match
Match the equipment to the body part it protects Work with your table partner Raise your hand when you're done
Safe vs. Unsafe Lab Behaviors
{"left":"Walking carefully in the lab\nWearing safety goggles\nListening to teacher instructions\nCleaning up spills immediately","right":"Running in the lab\nTouching equipment without permission\nPlaying with science materials\nIgnoring safety rules"}
Using Science Tools Safely
Hold tools properly Use tools only for their purpose Keep tools clean Ask for help when unsure
Safety First Rule
When in doubt, ASK! It's always better to be safe than sorry
Safety Scenario Practice
What would you do if... You spilled water on the table? You dropped a magnifying glass? You felt sick during an experiment?
Success Criteria & Next Steps
I can name 3 pieces of safety equipment I can show safe lab behavior I can ask for help when needed Next: We'll practice with real science tools!
