Warm-Up… 5 mins quiet writing LT 1.1: “I can use safe procedures in the science classroom and lab.” Agree or disagree? (write the statement and answer in your notebook pg __.) Lab accidents happen 50 times more often than chemical factory accidents. Lab accidents may result in permanent injury. Following lab rules decreases chances of accidents by 90%. Labs are a dangerous place for students.
