• 1) Scientific processes. The student, for at least 40% of instructional time, conducts field and laboratory investigations using safe, environmentally appropriate, and ethical practices. The student is expected to:

• (A) demonstrate safe practices during field and laboratory investigations; and.

• (B) make wise choices in the use and conservation of resources and the disposal or recycling of materials.

• Perform laboratory work only when your teacher is present. Unauthorized or unsupervised laboratory experimenting is not allowed.

• Your concern for safety should begin even before the first activity. Always read and think about each laboratory assignment before starting.

• Know the location and use of all safety equipment in your laboratory. These should include the safety shower, eye wash, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, and blanket.

• Wear a laboratory coat or apron and protective glasses or goggles for all laboratory work. Wear shoes (rather than sandals) and tie back loose hair.

• Check chemical labels twice to make sure you have the correct substance. Some chemical formulas and names differ by only a letter or number. Pay attention to the hazard classifications shown on the label.
