Chemistry, Biology and Physiscs are scientific disciplines. The term scientific means that they are based on a method of study called
EXPERIMENTAL METHOD
It means that experiment is the difference between scientific disciplines and non scientific ones. The experiment is carried out in the LABORATORY
But HOW we should work in a scientific laboratory in SAFETY ? WHY is so important (what does it mean exactly 'EXPERIMENTAL METHOD') ?

Work together in groups and write on a sheet making a list of items of rules that we MUST follow
HOW TO BEHAVE (in general, including washing and eating and at the end of the lab)
WHAT TO WEAR and BRING IN THE LAB (including writing materials, any idea?)
HOW TO BEHAVE WITH HEAT, FLAMES, SPECIMENS and ELECTRICITY
HOW TO USE CHEMICALS and DISPOSE THEM
HOW TO USE GLASSWARE and TOOLS (Microscope included)
TO SUM UP... In Italian - Translate the list in Italian. Let's make a (bilingual) POSTER with main rules
