Lab Safety and iMovie Project

We will be completing a lot of labs throughout the year.  To fully participate, you need to follow the safety guidelines.  You will be removed from the lab and given an alternate assignment if you fail to follow these simple lab rules.

1. Horseplay will not be tolerated.  Be careful and on your best behavior while in the lab.

2. Safety goggles must be worn at all times in the lab to prevent eye injuries.  This is not optional.

3. If any chemical has spilled, notify me.  If it has spilled on you, wash it immediately and notify me.  Wash your hands with soap and water after every lab.

4. Do not touch, taste or smell any chemical.

5.  Keep long hair pulled back.  Remove any jewelery or loose clothing before performing a lab.

6.  Do not eat or drink anything in the lab.

7.  Know the location of safety equipment and the first aid kit in the lab.

8.  Do not perform unauthorized experiments in the lab.  Follow all directions carefully.

9.  When using the bunsen burner or hot plates, do not touch beakers, flasks, etc that have been heated.  They are hot!!!!  Always use proper equipment to handle hot objects.

10.  When using eyedroppers or spatulas to transfer chemicals, be sure to return the utensil to the same chemical that it came from.  Avoid cross contamination!

You've watched a pretty cool movie on lab safety.  Your task is to choose one of the 10 safety rules and create a movie using iMovie.  You should have three participants.  Each person should "specialize" in one of three tasks: movie making, acting, scriptwriting.  However, each team member is involved in all three tasks.  You only need to use one iPad for movie making, though, each person may choose to use an iPad for their script.  If you choose to get more involved in using iMovie, there are some great tutorials online (Youtube, etc).
