Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have an increased presence in our school classrooms and laboratory instructional spaces, including cell phones, tablets, laptops, and equipment. However, Science/STEM teachers nationwide are forced to adopt and make use of new technologies like Li-ion batteries without the resources, training, and supervision to properly prepare our students and staff to purchase, store, charge, maintain, and dispose of these batteries.
Science/STEM Safety experts Drs. Kevin Doyle and Ken Roy will discuss the safety issues of Li-ion batteries and how to properly purchase, store, charge, use, and dispose of them in a safer way. In addition, the presenters will share their district’s protocols for handling Li-ion battery emergencies. By the end of the seminar, participants will know about protocols to keep everyone safer, and will have an understanding of the science behind Li-ion batteries and how they can be a benefit when used wisely.
All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.
We invite you to register for upcoming web seminars at NSTA.
