31. Check Your Understanding What’s wrong with these pictures? No eating No Drinking In Lab Do Not Smell Chemical Directly Do Not pour Water to Acid Never Horse-playing In Lab

32. Check Your Understanding • You have looked up the hazards of the chemicals you will be using in a particular lab, and found out that they are mild health hazards, requiring you to avoid skin contact and vapor inhalation. Therefore, when in lab you should: • wear short shorts and sandals • wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and a lab apron • wear gloves • b and c • a and c

33. Check Your Understanding • If the fire alarm sounds, you should: • do nothing - it is probably a false alarm • shut down your experiment, get your stuff, then leave the building • leave the building immediately following fire alarm protocols • grab a fire extinguisher and/or safety wash

34. B. Laboratory Equipments

35. Safety I Sharps container Biohazardous waste container Glass disposal container Lab coat Safety Goggles

36. Safety II Fire Extinguisher Eye Wash Station Chemical Fume Hood

37. Let’s Practice! Hand out “Recognized Lab Safety Worksheet”

38. VIII. Homework and End of Class Journaling

39. Homework • Signed Syllabus and Lab Safety Contract • Bring supplies • Study for safety quiz tomorrow • Explore Mr. Lam’s webpage

40. End of Class Summarization Journaling 1. Quietlywrite at least 5 sentences in your “notejournal” summarizing what you have learned today. 2. If you finish early and have any question for me, please write on a post-it-note and stick it to the “parkinglot”. 3. Please wait for me to dismiss the class! You are wonderful!  Love having you in class! Thank you!:
