Hello, I will be graduating soon and I was wondering what are some fun activities in classroom/lab safety. All ideas are acceptable! Thanks!

Johanna, in one of my college courses we were given a handout that had photos of students doing crazy/inappropriate things in the science lab, such as drinking coffee, standing in front of a laser, etc. We worked as a group to figure out what was wrong with each number on the handout and then went over it as a class. It was meant to be an example of what we could do in our classes and it was pretty interesting. I think this would be something you can look into. You can google 'lab safety photo' and several will appear. For a more hands on approach take a look at this website: http://mjksciteachingideas.com/safety.html
Hope this helps!

Hello, I think a great way to start a science safety activity would be to integrate a video. A funny and informative video is a great way to get a topic across to students because they pay full attention. An example of a funny video in regards to lab safety is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsAHt0FiwNM). Hope this helps!!
