What Is Science Safety?
In a science classroom, safety lives in how materials are stored, how expectations are taught, and how routines are practiced, not in last minute reminders.
Click the arrow to move through the activity and follow the directions as you go.
In this activity, you will compare two classrooms for safety.
vs
Classroom A: Safe Setup
Classroom B: At-Risk Setup
Classroom A: Safe Setup
Labeled Supplies
Food Labeled - Do Not Eat
Task 1Click each icon to explore the features that make Classroom A a safe science classroom setup.
Written Directions
Visible Routine
Magnifying Glasses
Click the arrow to continue.
Classroom B: At-Risk Setup
Unclear Directions
Unlabeled Food
Task 2Click each icon to explore the features that make Classroom B an at-risk setup.
Supplies Labeled Incorrectly
Confusion
Click the arrow to continue.
You’ve analyzed two classroom setups to identify safe and at-risk classrooms. Now, deepen your understanding by dragging each Problem Hand to its matching safety risk.
Check your answers
Risk: No clear spill procedure or cleanup routine.
Risk: Goggles stored in a random supply drawer.
Risk: Unlabeled food near snack items.
Problem: Students may accidently ingest or taste materials that are unsafe for consumption.
Problem: Students may not be able to locate personal protective equipment.
Problem: Student confusion may delay or cause unsafe cleanup.
Remember: Science safety is not a last minute checklist, it’s a daily routine!
Good science teaching includes good safety design: visual cues, labeled tools, and repeated modeling.
Start small: one label, one poster, one routine can make a big impact.
