Starting in middle school, many students experience science in a manner much different than experiences they may have had in elementary school. Lab safety and safety when using the tools of science is the first priority for students and teachers. To help teachers teach these safety procedures, the NTSA has developed a website that teaches safety first. Before any students take part in
labs or experiments, they must first demonstrate that they understand and are able to follow the safety rules and procedures in class. Use this site to help you prepare your students at the start of the school year. Then use the safety exam so students can demonstrate their understanding of the rules and procedures. Keep this on file as a reference if needed during the school year.
