Share

This is an activity we will do throughout the year so remember the directions

Stand Up (with your notecard) and raise your hand

Walk around the room until you find a person with their hand up. Give them a high
five, put your hand down and wait for further instructions

Share the information on the card with your partner (listen close you will be tested)


The person who has the largest number of siblings talk first
You have 1 minute

Now say hello to your new shoulder partner

Go sit at the table group that corresponds with the number I handed you, take you
stuff and make sure you sit next to your partner

Now you will introduce your shoulder partner to the class
Enrichment

Warm Up
Science Safety
 With your shoulder partner look around the room
and write (be prepared to share)
 2 things that are SAFE
 2 things that are NOT SAFE (or could potentially be
not safe)
Using Emergency Safety
Equipment

Fire Extinguisher

Remember the acronym PASS - PULL, AIM,
SQUEEZE, and SWEEP.

Step 1- PULL the pin on the handle. This
will allow the handle to work. Stand 8’ to 10’
from the fire.

Step 2- AIM the nozzle at the base of the fire.
Hit the fuel. It will not do any good to aim at
the flame tops because the chemical from
the extinguisher will pass right through
them.

Step 3- SQUEEZE the top lever or handle.
This will allow you to release the contents of
the extinguisher.

Step 4- SWEEP the nozzle from side to side

 So what should you do if you are in that situation?
Using Emergency Safety
Equipment

Fire Blanket

Step 1- Remove fire blanket from its container.

Step 2- Shield your face, arms and hands with the
blanket by wrapping the outside of the blanket
around your arms.

Step 3- PLACE, do not throw, the fire blanket on the
burning material. No air should be getting to the
flames.

Step 4- If it is safe, turn off the heat source causing the
fire.

Step 5- Leave the blanket on the burning material at
least 30 minutes. Do not remove the blanket until it is
cool.

Note: If you are smothering a clothing fire you
should tightly wrap the blanket around the person
whose clothes are burning and roll that person on the
floor in the blanket.
Using Emergency Safety
Equipment
 Face/Eyewash
 Step 1- Guide injured student to the
eyewash station. Because the first few
seconds after exposure to a chemical
are critical, eyewash/face wash must
be within 10 or fewer seconds of
anywhere in the room.
 Step 2- Use your hands to hold the
eyes open while using the eyewash to
be sure water reaches the eyes.
 Step 3- Flush skin or eyes with tepid
water (60- 90 F) for at least 15 minutes.
 DONOT RUB!
 Step 4- Get medical assistance
immediately.

Homework
 On a piece of computer paper make a cartoon giving an
example of how to act safely in a science classroom and
how to act unsafely in a science classroom.

colors

-the cartoon must have a minimum of four
-there must be at least one sentence
describing the scenario on each box

-label the science safety equipment

-drawings must show effort
Warm Up Log
 What is the difference between Emergency Safety
Equipment and Preventative Safety Equipment?
 Emergency Safety Equipment is used in an
emergency and preventative safety equipment helps
prevent (or stop) the emergency from happening.

Science Safety Symbols
 So why are safety symbols important?
 As a table group you will create science safety symbol that correlates with
a scenario you will be given AND you will act out the scenario with your
group.
 Requirements:




Each person must have a speaking part
Each group must act out the complete scenario in less than 60 seconds
Each group must create a safety symbol
Each group will vote if the skit is a safe lab scenario or and unsafe scenario

WE COMMUNICATE
SAFETY IN MANY
WAYS…
CAN YOU GUESS
WHERE YOU MIGHT
SEE EACH
PICTURE?
T. Givens / Mister Science 2013 / All Rights Reserved
WHY might we need more indepth safety information?
• The Signs you just saw communicated safety
information with just a picture and perhaps a
few simple words.
• Think about the following question for 30
seconds. Why might we need more in-depth
safety information?
• After thinking quietly, pair with a neighbor and
share your thoughts.

What is an MSDS?
MSDS stands for “Material Safety Data Sheet”.
It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with
procedures for handling or working with substances in a safe
manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting
point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first
aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spillhandling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to
source within a country depending on national requirements.
Have you Ever seen
these symbols?

Fluorine
•
Fluorine gas is the most reactive of all the elements and quickly attacks all
metals - steel wool bursts into flames when exposed to it !
•
In very small amounts, it is also a trace element necessary for the health of most
organisms.
•
The element and various compounds have a number of uses, ranging from the
construction of nuclear bombs to additives in dental products which are designed to
promote oral health.

Sulfuric Acid

SULFURIC ACID IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS. MORE OF IT IS MADE
EACH YEAR THAN IS MADE OF ANY OTHER
MANUFACTURED CHEMICAL;

IT HAS WIDELY VARIED USES AND PLAYS SOME
PART IN THE PRODUCTION OF NEARLY ALL
MANUFACTURED GOODS. THE MAJOR USE OF
SULFURIC ACID IS IN THE PRODUCTION OF
FERTILIZERS.
IT IS WIDELY USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
CHEMICALS, E.G., IN MAKING HYDROCHLORIC
ACID, NITRIC ACID, SULFATE SALTS, SYNTHETIC
DETERGENTS, DYES AND PIGMENTS, EXPLOSIVES,
AND DRUGS. IT IS USED IN PETROLEUM REFINING


Carbon Monoxide
• A colorless, odorless, toxic flammable gas, CO, formed
by incomplete combustion, burning of fuel, of carbon. In
high concentrations, carbon monoxide can be deadly to
humans.
• Carbon monoxide has uses in the chemical industry,
medical industry, Carbon monoxide is also used in
packaged meat to keep it looking fresh.
T. Givens / Mister Science 2013 / All Rights Reserved
Chloroform
•
Chloroform is a clear liquid with an ether-like
odor and a slightly sweet taste.
•
It is a naturally-occurring chemical, but most
of the chloroform in the environment is manmade.
•
It is used to make coolants and as a dry
cleaning spot remover.
•
May be found in small amounts in
chlorinated drinking or swimming pool water.
Chlorine treatment of drinking water is often
necessary to prevent diseases that can be a
major cause of illness.
