This article was extremely informative and helpful, every elementary school teacher should go ahead and read this article and add it to their library. Safety in the lab is extremely important and is a step in lesson planning that should not be skipped. As a teacher you must be organized, manage your time and be prepared to handle a situation properly in the case of an emergency. In the classroom always be sure that the safety posters are visible and that you review the safety precautions before teaching an experiment. Safety contracts must also be sent home and signed by the student and parent. This contract will ensure that the student and parents are aware of all the precautions that need to be taken the day of the experiment.

This article was written to show the experiences of a third-grade teacher who used a “disaster” to create a hands-on inquiry that introduces children to chemistry safety during a third-grade acid-base exploration. The teacher began the lesson by demonstrating the use of pH indicator paper. Students were required to explore the scientific questions in different groups, and they were provided with eye protection, gloves, and Material Safety Sheets. They were not allowed to touch unknown substances, needing to observe the procedure wearing safety goggles, apron, and gloves. With the emphasis on safety, students were more likely to science experiment safely. The article suggests that we can use some strategies like making safety posters and creating a chemistry song to remember safety rules. The teacher should encourage students’ curiosity about unfamiliar substances in science class, they also need to find ways to make sure students’ safety. Safety is definitely one of the top priorities for science class. The teachers should realize the importance of safety and focus on building safety lessons into science class. In my future class, I will teach a safety lesson at the first and then emphasize the importance of safety when students are doing science experiments. Effective ways should be used to create safety lessons. For example, some strategies like safety posters and safety songs could be useful for me to remind my students some important safety rules in a science class.

Students in low grades are always curious about the unfamiliar materials and try to touch them in science class. Even though most materials are safe enough this behavior is still pretty dangerous in science class. The author wanted to let students make sense of the importance of safety in science class by introducing pH wearing safety goggles, apron, and gloves. After the experiment, the teacher reminded students that the dye from the construction paper had spread around the room. He/she next added if the experiment had involved a poisonous or caustic substance, there might have been a serious injury to someone. It helps to let students realize what serious result will happen if we didn't pay attention to safety during the experiment. This article also mentions a chemistry safety song to help students to memorize important points about safety. As a teacher, I will forbid my students to eat any foods used in the experiment. And remind them never touch any liquid during the experiment. I will also show them some videos about how serious results will be led to if people ignore safety(e.g., emphasis, Nuclear leakage event, and water pollution. It may be helpful to develop their awareness of safety. Besides, during the experiment process, I will ask my students to totally follow the rules and my instruction in case of an accident.

It is incredibly significant for teachers to focus on building safety lessons into science class. The author of this article has an idea of an effective safety lesson from a hands-on chemistry investigation. Demonstrating the use of pH indicator paper is the first step. Students are divided into different groups and they are required to explore the scientific question. The teacher provided students with eye protection, gloves, and a Material Safety Sheet. During students’ dilutions, teacher asked students is there anything else that they could use. Some students suggested using the old pH indicator paper. The teacher followed the suggestions and students observed the procedure wearing safety goggles, apron, and gloves. The teacher should tell students do not touch unknown substances with their hands “because they could sting or cause serious burns” (Longfield, 2006). Making a list of ways of insuring safety is necessary. Therefore, students will pay more attention to safe operation including wearing protective gloves and goggles, reading labels, holding the test strips down, and holding strips with tweezers. The teacher and students created a chemistry safety song in order to remember safety rules. The safety posters made by students in this article are used to present on bulletin board as a constant safety reminder. Teachers can’t avoid the situation which students are curious about some unfamiliar substances in science class. Curiosity is helpful for students to figure out questions and creating new ideas. What teachers should do is finding ways to make sure students’ safety and strengthen their awareness of safety.

I really enjoyed reading the article Safety First! by Judith Longfield. In this article, the teacher talks about an interactive safety lesson she did in her third grade classroom with her students. This lesson came about when one day in class, her students spilt liquid all over their art projects during a chemistry investigation. Red dye from the construction paper got on students’ hands and faces. Had this been a chemical, the result could have been bad and that is when Longfield got the idea for the safety lesson. To begin the lesson, students investigated pH levels. They determined household vinegar is an acid. Longfield prompted the students with the question, if water was added to the vinegar, would it dilute the vinegar? She broke students into groups and explore the scientific question. The teacher then used this time to teach safety precautions. Longfield believes it is never too early to teach safety to students and I would agree with her. Safety is very important to know and practice in a classroom and doing it in an interactive, fun way makes it more interesting and memorable.

After I read this article, I learned that it is never too early to introduce the safety concepts to students. The author give a example that how did she teach her students to protect themselves when they are doing experiments. From her example, I noticed that the importance of improve students’ safety sense. She gave opportunities to students to explore pH, when they were doing their experiments, the author will emphasize that everyone should wear eye protection and gloves. Longfield (2006) also points that if their experiment had involved a poisonous or caustic substance, there might have been a serious injury to someone. (p.27) Thus she have to help students pay attention to avoid touching unknown substances with their hands because they will sting or cause serious burns. I like the strategy that have the students to make “Safety” posters to illustrate the safe handling of experiments. In this way, students can search more information about the safety and realize the significance of the safety in the experiments. Then, teachers should stick the posters in the class which can always remind students concentrate to safety. In my future class, I will teach my students safety lesson at the first. In addition, I think the Chemistry safety song which is the author made is very interesting and helpful.

I couldn't agree with you more on it is never too early to introduce the safety concepts to students. The safety is fundamental and crucial for learning science. It is a splendid idea to make "Safety" posters to illustrate the safe handling of experiments, which will enable students to notice the significance of the safety in the experiments. And I think before taking the science class, the science teacher should be trained for the safety of the materials and equipment.

As you read this article you are clued into questions that are necessary when selecting topics for elementary students. Questions about your selection include whether the material is developmentally correct, is the timing correct, is the instructional mode appropriate, how will you assess the students, and have you included misconceptions in your selection. The two charts in the article provide ideas for demonstrating learning and the seven additional teaching strategies. This is a good article but topics are usually mandated by district or state curriculum.

Importance of safety

Safety in the lab or at home is important for students to think about. This article briefly describes one way to introduce students to safety concerns of spills and unknown substances.
