PRACTICING SCIENCE SAFETY

            Below are examples of people who are not being safe in the science lab. After each description, identify the one best science safety rule that is being broken by writing the number of the rule from the “Science Safety in Mrs. Remis’ Lab” handout.

1. During a lab activity, Fred spilled some water on the floor. When the next class came in, someone slipped on the floor.

RULE # _______

2. When Jenny was trying to read a liquid measurement on a graduated cylinder, she had difficulty seeing because her goggles kept fogging up. To help her see better, she put her goggles up onto her forehead until she was able to read and record the measurement.

RULE # _______

3. Chris just came from lunch and couldn’t find the time to stop at his locker to put away his water bottle. When he came in the science lab, he safely stored the water bottle under the lab table where no one would trip over it.

RULE # _______

4. While Mrs. Ness was giving a few directions before a lab activity, Lizzy got bored and started to poke holes in a foam lab tray with a copper wire from the tray.

RULE # _______

5. During a lab activity, Mike left a binder on the floor and Mrs. Ness tripped on in while she was making her way across the room to help another group.

RULE # _______

6. Rebecca got up during a lab to borrow a pencil from her friend. On her way back to her seat, she bumped into someone who was holding a glass beaker.

 RULE # ________

7. Bob was convinced that one of the liquids he was using during a lab activity was maple syrup, so he smelled it just to be sure.

RULE # ________

8. Sue didn’t have time the night before to read over the lab directions, so she had her lab partner read the steps off as they were working on the lab.

RULE # _______

9. At the end of a lab, a group quickly put away their materials, however, the table had paper clippings and water drops on it when they left.

RULE # _______

10. During a lab activity, David put a glass beaker down on the lab table. Because he didn’t put it close enough to the middle of the table, his partner, Greg, knocked on the floor with his elbow and it broke.


RULE # _______

LAB EQUIPMENT & SAFETY - REVIEW

Professor Absent-Mind recently moved his chemistry lab. He has a tendency to be somewhat relaxed in his organizational skills; in other words, he has NONE! He does, however, have chemistry students that have graciously volunteered to help him organize the lab. The only issue is that the Professor has been called to go on a research study in the Amazon Forest, and has left you in charge of identifying and organizing all of the laboratory equipment. You have been given a list & 24 pictures of lab equipment that the professor has in his collection.  Follow the instructions for each activity carefully!

Before you begin your task, I need to express the importance of LAB SAFETY!!!  Please take this information seriously to protect yourself and your lab partners!!!

      SCIENCE NEWS - LOOK AT THOSE SNAPPERS #6

      This bit of tail is the first hard evidence of a T. rex hunt in action

      Perhaps the young Tyrannosaurus rex hadn't yet grown enough—either in size or in wile—to bring down the duck-billed dinosaur?
      A team of U.S. paleontologists have discovered a fossil of a piece of a hadrosaur tail that includes two vertebrae that have healed around a tooth crown. The story they've pieced together is kind of exciting: They think an immature T. rex came for Mr. Hadro and bit his tail, but then lost out on the prey. The hadrosaur lived long enough after the encounter at least for its tail to heal.

      The tail and its embedded tooth mean something pretty exciting for paleontology, too. It's the first hard evidence that T. rexes actively hunted prey, the paleontologists wrote in a paper theypublished today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Previously, paleontologists had only suggestive evidence, such as the apparent strength of T. rex jaws.
      This team believes that like many modern predators, T. rexes scavenged some of the time, but also hunted. That doesn't seem to be an uncommon view.
      The hadrosaur fossil has a few things going for it as a snapshot of T. rex hunting. The healing around the embedded tooth shows that the T. rexchomped down on the hadrosaur while the latter was still alive, instead of scavenging its corpse after it died. Previously, scientists had discovered fossils with T. rex bite marks or even lodged-in T. rex teeth, but without evidence of healing, there was no way to know whether the bites came before or after the prey died.
      It also helps that the fossil includes the T. rex's actual tooth crown, instead of just a tooth mark, which would be much more difficult to identify. The tooth is indistinguishable from other teeth paleontologists have found belonging to young T. rexes that aren't quite adults yet, the PNAS researchers wrote.
