Laboratory Safety

Science
What are we going to
do today? 💡

1. I can list the lab safety rules.

2. I can identify safe and unsafe
behaviors in the science lab.
3. I can use different equipment to
measure weight, volume and
temperature.
 #1
I can list the lab safety
rules.
 Let’s Discuss
1. Why is lab safety important?
2. How is lab safety different
than classroom safety?
 Laboratory Safety Rules

Before leaving the classroom:

1. Bring your laboratory coat, devices

and stationary.
2. Line up quietly and follow your
teacher.
Note: You can use the following link to purchase
the lab coat or you can check in any book store.

silent and well behaved in the
hallway.
2. Make sure not to disrupt other
classes.
3. No running in the corridor

• Label the following equipment 4

and predict the function of each.

A. Graduated cylinder 3

B. Digital Scale
C. Thermometer
D. Microscope
Let’s Explore

•Station 1:
•Using a Graduated Cylinder:
• Pour the water in front of you
from the container to the
graduated cylinder.
• Record the volume on your
report.

•Station 2:
• Using a Digital Balance to
Measure Mass:
• Examine the digital
scale. Press the “tare”   to
ensure that the scale is
showing a mass of 0.
• Measure the weight of the
provided object.
 Let’s Explore

•Station 3:
• Using a Digital Thermometer
to Measure Temperature:
• Turn on the thermometer
and insert it inside the
container.
• Record the reading of the
temperature in your report.
