Hoping to stir up a little interest in Mars and NASA, the folks in public relations
released the image along with the following caption:
"This picture is one of many taken in the northern latitudes of Mars by the Viking 1
Orbiter in search of a landing site for Viking 2. "The picture shows eroded mesalike landforms.
The huge rock formation in the center, which resembles a human head, is formed
by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth. The feature is 1.5
kilometers (one mile) across, with the sun angle at approximately 20 degrees. The
speckled appearance of the image is due to bit errors, emphasized by enlargement
of the photo. The picture was taken on July 25 last year from a range of 1873
kilometers (1162 miles).

Safety Rules
The science laboratory is where you perform experiments and
investigations.
However, if you are to keep yourself and your friends safe, whilst
not damaging equipment or apparatus needlessly, it is important
that you follow some basic safety rules.
What are these safety rules?
Working in pairs write down five
safety rules that you think are
important in the science
laboratory. Then decide which
three are the most important.
One person will write down your
ideas, the other person will share
your answers with the class.
You have 10 minutes!
Science Safety Rules…
1. Never enter the laboratory without permission.
2. Always listen to instructions.
3. Never run in the laboratory.
4. Always wear safety goggles when performing an
experiment.
5. Always stand up when performing an experiment
(unless told otherwise).
Science Safety Rules…
6. If you break something tell the teacher straight away.
7. If you spill a chemical tell the teacher and wipe it up.
8. Do not make up your own experiments.
9. Tidy your apparatus away at the lesson’s end.
10. Never eat or drink in the laboratory.
11. If you wish to ask a question raise your hand.
Safety First!
Always wear safety goggles!
Hazard Symbols
Hazard symbols are a warning to people to let them
know of the potential dangers a chemical or piece of
apparatus could hold.
You will need to know the hazard symbols for the
following. Can you guess what they might look like?
