Laboratory Safety Rules
This is a lab-oriented course and a considerable amount of our time will be spent in the lab. Laboratory investigations are designed to give you a "hands-on" knowledge of science. However, any lab-science course has certain potential dangers. An experiment may require you to handle dangerous chemicals, live animals, or pieces of equipment that can cause injury if handled improperly.
