Lab Safety
Lab Safety is essential for working in the Chemistry laboratory.  You are responsible for the rules listed in your text.  You will take a lab safety quiz to show your mastery of the topic.  As the year progresses, you will be responsible for using these rules when in the lab.  Violations will result in: a zero for the activity, removal from the lab, a conference with a parent/guardian, and an administrative referral.  Serious violations may result in the permanent removal from the lab area.  Please go to the following page for complete information regarding lab activities.  Please share the lab safety agreement with your parents.  This is required before beginning our lab activities for the year.
