Safety Rules

 

Lab Guidelines

Scientific Method

   Students must know all the safety rules and take a quiz over them. Must get an 80% score to do lab work. Retake will be given, but students must make arrangements. Lab safety is an absolute must for all students!

  Lab work is done in groups of 3-5 students. Labs are performed as a team but actual write-ups and observations are the responsibility of the individual. They are allowed to share ideas and to discuss any questions they have.

1.)   Question or Problem

2.)   Hypothesis

3.)   Procedure

4.)   Materials

5.)   Data/Results/Observations

6.)   Graph

7.)   Conclusion

   Students will be given a syllabus with rules and examples. They will also be asked to take notes over specific teacher rules and expectations.

1.)   Wear closed faced shoes.

2.)   Hair needs to put pulled back with hair band, scrunches or rubber band.

3.)   No loose jewelry or clothing.

4.)   Bring materials when needed.

    The scientific method will be used throughout the year, but at times only parts will be used as needed. During inquiry labs all parts will be emphasized as an assessment of their understanding.
