Lab Safety and Equipment
Lab Safety Rules
1. NO Horseplay, practical jokes, and pranks allowed in the science lab
2. Do not touch any equipment, supplies, animals, or other materials in the science room without permission from the teacher.
3. Follow all written and
verbal instructions carefully.
4. Perform only authorized and approved experiments. Do not conduct any experiments when the teacher is out of the room
5. Never eat, drink, chew gum, or taste anything in the science room.
6. Wear safety glasses or
goggles when instructed.
7. Dress properly—long hair must be tied back, no dangling jewelry, and no loose or baggy clothing. Wear aprons when instructed. Closed Toe Shoes Only!
8. Learn where the safety equipment is located and how to use it.
9. Consider all chemicals
dangerous. Do not touch or smell any chemicals unless specifically instructed to do so. 10. Dispose of all chemical waste properly. (NEVER DOWN THE SINK) 11. Read all Chemical Labels and instructions carefully!
12. If instructed to smell a chemical never inhale chemical directly. WAFT the odor toward you. (Always make sure you are working in a well ventilated area)
13. Alert your teacher immediately after any accident, injury or spill. No matter how big or small!
14. Always clean up lab area as instructed by your teacher
15. Never Work Alone in the Lab
Glue the Safety Cartoon into your notebook after your notes– Identify the
students who are breaking a safety rule. Then list the name of the student and
the rule that is being broken. If it is not one
from our notes but you think a rule is being
broken write it down!

MICROSCOPE
Magnifies
specimens that
are hard or
impossible to
see with the
human eye
MICROSCOPE SLIDE
A small flat
rectangular
piece of glass on
which
specimens can
be mounted for
microscopic
study
MICROSCOPE COVER SLIP
Very thin piece
of glass used to
cover the
specimen on a
microscope
slide
LAB APRON
Protects clothes
and skin from
harmful
chemicals and
stains
GOGGLES
Protects eyes from harmful
chemicals and flying
objects
HAND LENS
Magnifies
small objects
up to 10X
TEST TUBE CLAMP
Allows you to
manipulate a
test tube with
out having to
touch it with
your hands
BEAKER TONGS
Holds a hot
beaker
during
transport
SCOOP
Scoops
grains or
powder of
chemicals
T-PINS
Holds down
tissue of
organisms
during
dissection
PETRI DISH Place in which scientists grow specimens (usually bacteria)
STIRING ROD
Used to stir
chemicals
during
experiments
PIPPETE
Used to transport small
amounts of liquid from
one container to another
DISSECTING TRAY
Holds
specimens
during
dissection
GLOVES
Protect
hands from
heat and
chemicals
MODELS
Used to demonstrate items that
can not be easily attained or
seen. Some things just won’t
work in the classroom.
MODELS Benefits – allow us to view and examine items
hands on that we would not normally be able to
have access to.
Limitations – Models do not have the detail of the
real thing – their purpose is to help us get a
general overview not a detailed look.
MSDS – Material Data Safety Sheet
Used to describe safety hazards of
specific chemicals
