Behavior
TRUE or FALSE
You can come into the science lab anytime - even without a teacher present.
What is "FALSE"? (You should never be in the lab unsupervised.)
Which of the following is prohibited in science:
A-Twirling around on the science stool. B - Participating in a class discussion without raising your hand. C-Coming to the science lab before school begins.
What is A - 'twirling around on the science stool"?
You may comment as long as you are not interrupting or talking over someone else. You may come see your science teacher in the lab before school.
This is what you should do before starting a lab if you have long hair.
What is "be sure it is tied back"?
These two things are what a student needs to do when handling our frogs.
What is use plastic gloves and hold them gently over a table? (keep them over a table so they don't accidentally hop to the floor)
Goggles are worn for this reason.
What is to protect your eyes from injury? (something might get into your eye if you're not wearing protection!)
TRUE or FALSE:
Eating is NEVER allowed in the science lab.
What is FALSE? (Eating with permission is allowed, but never DURING a science lab.)
TRUE or FALSE
In science, we handle both living organisms and once-living organisms respectfully.
What is "TRUE"? While it may be common sense to treat living organisms with respect, we also must treat biological specimens respectfully too.
For example, after dissecting a cow eye, we will NOT cut it up, squish it or stab it. We will dispose of it properly and appreciate the learning opportunity.
Choose the best answer: After conducting a science lab, you should: A. Reset your station for the next class (or clean up if you're the last class of the day) B. Throw away unused lab materials C. Put all the glassware in the sink D. All of the above
What is "A-Reset or clean up"?
TRUE or FALSE
Our gecko can be held and played with.
What is "false"? He's not a friendly gecko.
If a piece of equipment is not working properly or appears broken, you should...
What is "tell the teacher"?
When noticing broken glass, you should FIRST...
What is tell a science teacher? (DO NOT TOUCH IT YOURSELF)
TRUE or FALSE
Water bottles are allowed in the science lab on hot days.
What is "False"? Water should be consumed before coming to class. Drinking or eating during a lab is not permitted unless it is part of the activity. (Also, we don't want students to forget to bring the water bottle back to homeroom.)
This is why, when working in science, we keep the materials close to our bodies instead of reaching...
What is "so things don't get knocked over, broken or spilled"?
TRUE OR FALSE: Students should use quiet voices around the class pets.
What is "true"? Frogs and geckos have sensitive hearing. They do not like it when children make loud or abrupt noises, such as screeching, screaming or banging.
If a fire erupts you should...
What is "tell the teacher"?
TRUE or FALSE:
It is a great idea to come into science and immediately get started on a lab or experiment before reading directions and listening to instructions - so we save time.
What is FALSE? (While we want to use our science time together wisely, it is important to understand instructions and work safely.)
Choose the best answer. Horseplay, practical jokes or pranks in the lab are: A-always against the rules. B- always fine. C-okay if they're not dangerous D-okay if you are working alone
What is "A -always against the rules"?
After listening to instructions and/or watching a demonstration, if you still don't understand how to conduct an experiment or lab, you should do this FIRST...
What is READ the directions carefully (and RE-READ if needed)?
THEN ask your lab partner and LASTLY ask your teacher if you still don't know.
TRUE or FALSE
Students are allowed to look at or visit the animals in science anytime they finish work or a task early.
What is "FALSE"? Early finishers will be usually asked to read. The cages are too small to have more than 1-3 student nearby at one given time.
Why must you know where the first extinguisher is located in the lab?
You may be asked to grab it and bring it to an adult.
Students will most like never use the fire extinguisher.
ALWAYS tell the teacher if you smell smoke or see a spark or flames.
This is the proper way to carry a microscope.
What is use two hands and hold the microscope close to your body (only carry one microscope at a time)?
In order to be fully prepared for science, these are the materials that you must always bring to science class..
What are: pen, pencil, agenda, science folder, science notebook, and computer with ear buds?
If you are asked to smell something in science, this is the correct way to do it...
What is "to cup your hand above the container and waft the air toward your face (wafting)"?
When you are in the laboratory and take a direct sniff of the chemicals you are using, you run the risk of damaging your mucous membranes or your lungs.
If one of the animals appears injured, what should you do FIRST?
Tell the science teacher.
Where is the eye wash station located in our science lab?
What is on the wall near the first aid kit?
