Lab Safety and the Science Process
In the
Scientific Process unit, students will demonstrate safe
laboratory practices that they will use throughout the
school year. Students will also plan and implement
investigative procedures using the scientific process
that they will continue to use in field and laboratory
investigations throughout the school year.
Critical Questions:
- Why is it important to understand and use safe lab
practices?
- What processes should you use when planning an
investigation?
Suggested Time Frame: 2 Weeks |

Safety Equipment and Procedures:
Use equipment, including chemicals, safely in the
laboratory. Material Safety Data Sheets, chemical disposal, and
the use of safety equipment are essential in maintaining a safe
classroom. (IPC 1A,B) T10-T11) |
|
Plan and implement
scientific procedures used in conducting a scientific
investigation (IPC 2A). (High Priority T10-T11) |
Scientific Measurement:
Make measurements with accuracy and precision using SI
units and scientific notation where applicable. Create
and interpret graphs of experimental data. (IPC 2B,D, 3B,
7E) (High Priority T10-T11) |
