Science Safety in the Classroom

Science can be one of the most fun subjects due to the many experiments that could be done. However, safety is very important when working with these experiments. A classroom may sometimes have up to 30 students who are very curious to learn about Science. What are some effective ways to ensure safety in an elementary science class?

''Science classes should have no more than 24 students to allow for adequate supervision during science activities, even if the occupancy load limit might accommodate more (NSTA 2014b). It is equally important to ensure adequate workspace for each student. NSTA recommends 60 sq. ft. for each secondary student and 45 sq. ft. for each elementary student in a laboratory/classroom setting'' so most likely add another science class would be the best idea i think
