A unit on science safety should be presented before any student works in the lab. Use this program as the major part of that safety unit. This is a fast paced, comprehensive program for the upper elementary and middle school science lab. This video covers all major safety practices and has an additional segment on the identification of laboratory hardware and glassware.

There are vivid demonstrations that illustrate the danger of tasting, touching or smelling unknown chemicals. Also, segments on Bunsen burner malfunctions, the proper use of safety goggles and hazards associated with acids and bases. Accompanying this video is a 60-page reproducible teacher handbook on CD-ROM. This handbook can be used along with the video as the foundation for science safety instruction in your laboratory. The handbook on CD-ROM includes informational documents, safety checklists, classroom safety worksheets and student safety quizzes.
