Safety Rules
With help from Sponge Bob and the
Bikini Bottom Gang
Rule 1:
Always wear safety goggles when working
with chemicals.
Rule 2:
Never reach across a flame.
Rule 3:
Notify your teacher if any chemical gets on
your skin/clothing, or if you get injured.
Rule 4:
Never look directly into a test tube.
Rule 5:
Always point a test tube away from yourself and
others.
Rule 6:
Never smell a chemical directly from the
container. “Waft” it.
Rule 7:
Never taste a chemical unless you’re given
permission.
Rule 8:
Always clean up your work area and put back
the materials where you found them.
Rule 9:
Always read and follow all directions exactly as
they are written.
Rule 10:
Never mix chemicals (or perform tests) without
your teacher’s permission.
Rule 11:
Never run or push someone else in the lab.
Rule 12:
Keep lids on bottles and containers when not in
use.
Rule 13:
Never use broken or chipped glassware.
Rule 14:
Keep your work area clean and keep all
materials (clothing, hair, papers, etc.) away.
Rule 15:
Wash your hands after each
experiment.
Safety Scenarios
• Students work in partners or small groups to determine
which lab safety rule was broken in each scenario.
• Groups are only given one scenario at a time...when
they think they've figured out the broken rule, they
send one member to the teacher to check their answer.
• If they are correct, the teacher gives them the next
scenario; if they are wrong they must go back to their
group and try again.
• The groups are competing against each other to see
who can finish the scenarios first.
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #1
• The class was performing an experiment that
involved using toxic chemicals. The students
used gloves to protect their hands. However,
Jake’s nose began to itch unbearably, so he
decided to scratch it.
• Answer = keep hands away from face
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #2
• Heather and Jay were absent the day that the
class started doing an experiment. Instead of
reading the directions carefully, they gathered
whatever materials they thought they needed
and started the experiment according to what
their classmates were doing.
• Answer = follow written/verbal instructions
carefully
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #3
• Cindy dropped a glass beaker on the floor and it
shattered into pieces. She picked up the pieces
with her bare hands and threw them into the
trash can. Later in the day, a custodian got a
deep cut in her arm from the broken glass when
picking up the trash.
• Answer = only the teacher should dispose of the
broken glass properly
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #4
• During class, Nathan began to feel very thirsty.
He saw a beaker with clear liquid and
assumed it was water. He took a big swig of
the liquid, only to find out that it was actually
ammonia.
• Answer = do not eat or drink anything from
lab unless directed by the teacher
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #5
• Diane went up to the counter to grab
materials for the dissection. As she walked
back to her desk, she tripped on a classmate’s
bag which was in the walkway. The dissection
materials went flying, and ended up stabbing
another student.
• Answer = keep walkways clear
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #6
• The class had just finished up an experiment
in the garden, and their hands were dirty from
the soil. The lunch bell rang and Jana was so
hungry that she ran off to the cafeteria
without washing her hands.
• Answer = always wash hands after lab
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #7
• Sarah and her lab partner were conducting an
experiment that involved using a Bunsen burner
(something that creates fire). A strong gust of
wind blew into the classroom. Sarah forgot to
put her long hair in a ponytail, and it ended up
blowing into the fire. Before they could put the
fire out, half of Sarah’s hair had been burned.
• Answer = tie back long hair
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #8
• Matthew was a very curious kid. When he
walked into science, he saw two chemicals on the
counter. He decided to mix the two chemicals,
just for fun. Turns out that mixing of the two
chemicals produced a toxic gas, which caused
Matthew to get really sick.
• Answer = perform experiments only approved by
teacher
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #9
• While doing an experiment, Ryan accidentally
broke a graduated cylinder. He didn’t want to get
busted by the teacher, so he put the graduated
cylinder back together as best as he could. This
caused a student in the next period to slice his
hand when he tried grabbing the broken
graduated cylinder.
• Answer = always report accidents to teacher
immediately
Answer key for Safety Scenarios
SAFETY SCENARIO #10
• Peter was in love! He just received a love letter
from Lois confessing her crush on him. During
science class, Peter left his treasured love letter
on his desk so that his buddy Cleveland could see
it. As they performed an experiment, Cleveland
accidentally knocked over a chemical, and it
spilled all over Lois’ love letter. It was completely
ruined!
• Answer = keep work area clean and uncluttered
