Lab Safety
EQ:
• What procedures keep us
safe during lab?
Standard:
TLW:
Students will observe a video
on “what not to do in the lab.”
After receiving content
specific instruction in
laboratory safety guidelines
students will make their own
video to explain a specific rule.
Students complete a quiz and
safety contract independently
upon completion of the lesson.

Subject:
Science
“Inquiry” (students) What
cooperative learning strategy can
you use?
Teacher: (Inquiry)
Explore and make an observation:
Lab Safety Video (1st half) - students will view the Ultimate Lab Safety
Video (1st Half-stop after viewing the scientist in the safety shower)
In the video students will observe several lab safety “mistakes.”
Safety Video Mistakes Rally Robin to answer the question “What
were some safety mistakes you observed in the video?”
“I DO” (Teacher Input & Modeling)
1. Teacher asks students what could have been done differently in the
video they viewed.
2. Teacher delivers content specific safety instruction (i.e. Chemistry is
geared more towards chemical safety etc) to include symbols.
3. Students view the Ultimate Lab Safety Video (2nd Half).
4. Timed Pair Share “What is lab safety?”
“WE DO TOGETHER”
1. Assign small groups of students a specific lab safety rule.
2. Each group will work together to create a short video (1-2 minutes)
using their cell phone camera to demonstrate the rule. If one student in
each group does not have an appropriate device the teacher will provide
a flip cam or iPod/iPad.
3. Students will email/download the videos to the teacher and students
view as a class.
“Closure”
Quiz-Quiz-Trade Safety Review
Teacher passes out cards with questions and answers on them. Students
use the Quiz-Quiz-Trade structure format to review.
“YOU DO ALONE” (Independent
Practice)
Comments:
“Science Laboratory Safety Test”
“Student Safety Contract”
Teacher instruction should be content specific. (i.e. safety precautions
stressed in Chemistry will be different than that for Biology)
