Specific: State exactly what you want to accomplish (who, what, where, why)

Measurable: How will you demonstrate and evaluate the extent to which the goal has been met?)

Achievable: stretch and challenging goals within ability to achieve outcome. What is the action-oriented verb?

Relevant: How does the goal tie into your key responsibilities? How is it aligned to the objectives?

Timely: Set one or more target dates (including deadlines, dates and frequency), the “by when” to guide your goal to successful and timely completion

List 3 safety rules you have learned in your previous science classes.

Rule #1Read and understand all safety

instructions before you begin.

Rule #2Follow directions and use the equipment

only as instructed.

Rule #3Locate the emergency exit and safety

equipment, including the eye/face wash, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, and

alarm.

Rule #4Wear all required safety equipment (including goggle, apron, gloves, long pants, and closed toe shoes). Tie back

hair and loose clothes.

Rule #5Pour acid into water; Not water into acid.

Rule #6Pin specimens to pan. Do not dissect

while holding them in your hand.

Rule #7Avoid contamination. Do not return unused chemicals to original source.

Keep the correct spatula and/or stopper with its container

Rule #8Report all accidents, spills, and broken

glass to the teacher.

Rule #9Avoid eating, drinking, or directly smelling chemicals (waft instead).

Rule #10Keep metals and water away from

electrical equipment.

Rule #11Point test tubes that are being heated

away from you and others.

Rule #12Never horse-playing in the Lab.

Rule #13Clean up your area, tools, and hands

when done.

Rule #14Turn off equipment. Recycle or

dispose of materials properly.

What’s wrong with these pictures?

You have looked up the hazards of the chemicals you will be using in a particular lab, and found out that they are mild health hazards, requiring you to avoid skin contact and vapor inhalation. Therefore, when in lab you should:

a. wear short shorts and sandals b. wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and a

lab apronc. wear gloves d. b and ce. a and c

If the fire alarm sounds, you should:

a. do nothing - it is probably a false alarmb. shut down your experiment, get your stuff,

then leave the buildingc. leave the building immediately following fire alarm protocolsd. grab a fire extinguisher and/or safety wash

1. Quietly write at least 5 sentences in your “note journal” summarizing what you have learned today.

2. If you finish early and have any question for me, please write on a post-it-note and stick it to the “parking lot”.

3. Please wait for me to dismiss the class!

You are wonderful! Love having you in class!

Thank you!:
