Summary: This week we learned about lab safety. A few rules are to make sure there's no food in the lab area, make sure to wear safety goggles, tie back long hair, etc. You also can't pour chemicals in the sink without the teachers permission. You also can't leave your lab area messy and unorganized. You can't block emergency exits, leave your stuff/backpacks on the floor where people can trip, and you can't leave a burner unattended.
S&EP: Asking Question and Defining Problems
A basic practice of the scientist is the ability to formulate empirically answerable questions about phenomena to establish what is already known, and to determine what questions have yet to be satisfactorily answered.
This week we established the rules of doing a lab and asked questions on why we should do those rules. We also asked questions of how and what to do in a situation. For example if we burn our hand then we have to put it under water and tell the teacher.
