Lab Equipment and The Safety Song

In class today we went over many pieces of laboratoty equipment that we will use in the lab this year. You are responsible for being able to identify these items- and also spell their names!! If you want a review of all the lab equipment that we went over in class today click here.

Also, lab safety is a HUGE component of lab work. You never want to put yourself or others at harm. A lot of lab safety is common sense. Here is a video put together by a science teacher that I want you to watch. He puts the rules of the lab to music...it's catchy and I hope it sticks with you! Even though this video is supposed to be funny, please no that lab safety is no laughing matter and something that I take very seriously.


Good luck studying for the quiz tomorrow!
