LAB SAFETY
Laboratory Policy:
My first priority is providing a safe, student-oriented learning environment. Safety is extremely important because we will be using chemicals that if not handled correctly will cause irreparable harm. I expect students to conduct themselves responsibly, courteously and to be accountable for their own actions and academic success.
To participate in the laboratory experiments, students must pass the Science Safety Quiz (below). Violation of lab safety rules (including unsafe behavior) will result in a warning on the first offense and a zero on the current lab if the behavior continues. Repeated violations will result loss of laboratory privileges until a parent conference is held and the student retakes the safety test. If you break or damage any lab materials while violating any of the safety rules, you will be responsible for paying the replacement cost of the item. If you need to make up a lab due to an excused absence it must be made up (before or after school) within one week of your return to class.
Take the following lab safety quiz:

(Hint: Use the lab safety sheet to help you answer the questions on the quiz. However, some answers will not be found in the safety sheet; use common sense)
