Lab Safety Agreement & Skit Directions
Agreement
1. Review the ​Student Laboratory Safety Agreement​.
2. Ask questions of anything you do not understand. If the substitute teacher does
not know, write it down and we will talk about it on Friday.
3. Initial next to each item for which you agree. Return this with parent-person and
your signatures by ​Friday, August 23​. (You will not be allowed to use the lab
without this.)
Skit
Goals:
-I will show understanding of lab safety rules by connecting with 4 things that are not
safe.
-I will work in a group to produce a script and a skit.
-I will actively listen during skit presentations to deduce which 4 rules were not followed.
Procedure:
1. Your substitute teacher will place you in a group.
2. Use your ​Student Laboratory Safety Agreement​ to make a skit where the
characters break 4 of the rules. During your performance, everyone else will be
trying to guess which rules were not followed, so remember and make them
clear.
3. Not everyone has to be a character in the skit, but everyone has to participate
equally. If you do not want to talk in front of the group, maybe you are the one
who drafts the script or does a different job.
4. You get to figure out how to do your skit. Maybe it’s a radio show, where
everyone closes their eyes and listens. Maybe you’re in a tv box. Maybe you
are students in the actual class.
5. Keep it under 6 minutes.
6. Look at the rubric. You will see that I expect the script to be a clean, final draft.
This can be handwritten or typed. I also expect you to practice the skit a few
times. In order to be able to do these, you will have to make good use of your
time in class and maybe outside of class tonight. You will have approximately 15
minutes to finish up at the beginning of next class before skits begin.
