Chemistry Class and Safety in the Chemistry lab

This school year has began with a good start. Our chemistry teacher has made a very good impression to all the students in her class, and each and everyone of them wants to have a good year with the new teacher. The greatest advantage, other than our teacher being very nice, is that we have a new teacher and we can have a fresh new start. The first week of school started like every first week in the past few years regarding science classes. All the science classes begin with the syllabus and the class rules and expectations, then they talk about what is going to be covered in class, and finally they talk about lab safety.

Safety is the most important thing that should be considered in the Science lab. Day to day when working in the lab we are exposed to dangerous hazards that can put our life at risk. It is very important to be aware of the chemicals that are being used in the lab, specially in Chemistry class. Therefore, in the lab there are certain rules that should be followed in order for people not to get hurt and be able to perform experiments in a safe and correct way. Some of the most important rules that should be followed are: to always have self control, no horseplay due to some things that may be knocked out and break, always wear googles to protect your eyes from harmful chemicals or other things getting into your eyes, always wear gloves to protect your hands from chemicals that can burn your skin, and wear an apron to protect your clothes of being bleached. The importance of these general rules is to be considered in order for your science experiment and your experience in the lab to be a success.
