Lab Safety 8/14/14

This year I have lots of labs and group challenges planned for us in Science. I felt that it was important that we review our classroom rules and expectations plus our safety rules for our labs before we got started. After discussing our rules, we watched a short lab safety video, and then we all signed our lab contracts. These contracts are in our Science Notebooks. Students were then given the assignment to make an Acrostic Poem with the word Safety. I was impressed with their creativity!! Look at this fantastic drawing!!

Lab Safety Day

Today in Science we discussed the importance of lab safety. We put a lab contract in each child’s Science notebook, and parents are to sign it tonight. After our lab safety lesson, students used their knowledge to make an acrostic poem about safety knowledge. As I walked around the room looking at all of the great work, I was amazed at this little scientist’s work .. I loved it!!! We’re coming up on our first Science Lab on Thursday!! I’m not sure who’s more excited — the kids or me?!
