(REG. & ADV.) Lab Safety Contract:
TO PARTICIPATE IN APPLIED LABS: ALL TEAM 702 (and 604) SCIENCE STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A SIGNED LAB SAFETY CONTRACT BY PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN ON FILE, AS WELL AS A PASSING GRADE (70%) ON LAB SAFETY EXAM.
- The Scientific Method and Inquiry (all year)
- Tools and Measurement (all year)
- LAB SKILLS & SAFETY: lab_safety.pdf (all year)
Don't let accidents happen, know and follow all Lab Safety Rules.
***NOTE: Science is FUN and a meaningful way of learning important skills, concepts, and procedures in a hands-on way. It’s everywhere and in everything we Do…
Safety is Everyone's Priority. Rules are NOT to be compromised, nor negotiated. A Lab Safety Contract went home the second week of classes and signed/returned. Lab equipment, safety rules, and scenarios were reviewed and an exam was given the first week of September.
KNOW, FOLLOW, BE NEAT, AND LEARN SAFELY !!!
NOTE: Team 702 Science instructor exercises the right to refuse participation in Lab(s) if Student(s) compromise(s) the Lab Rules and/or break(s) the agreed upon required/signed Lab Safety Contract. Lab is to be taken seriously to reinforce science skills and scientific method process. Compliance is to protect the student(s), lab partners, classmates, equipment, staff, and entire SSMS student body. Administrative disciplinary action may be assigned, further lab safety assessment may be necessary and be administered prior to reassignment into lab participation.
