Waste Disposal
• Ask your teacher where/how to
dispose of waste.
• Never pour anything down the drain
unless you are told to do so.
Reasons for proper waste
disposal
• Hazardous chemicals down the drain can
lead to pollution of ground water, lakes,
rivers, etc.
• Plants and animals will die if they are
exposed to hazardous chemical waste.
• Serious health problems will become present
in people if hazardous waste finds its way into
drinking water.
I understand that I will be removed from the science
activity area by the teacher if:
My personal appearance or dress is such that I
can cause injury to myself or other students
I am behaving in such a manner that I cause injury
to myself or other students
I am not following the safety rules
I am going beyond the limits of the science
activity into areas that may lead to an unsafe
situation
I have not completed the pre-experiment activities
that will allow me to work safely in the laboratory
