On Friday, we spent a little more time talking about safety. I also handed out the Safety Contract which all students and their parents/guardians must sign and return before the student is allowed to participate in lab activities. Here are some of the most important rules from the contract.
Safety Contract Highlights:
- Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully
- Never eat, drink, chew gum or taste anything in the lab
- Report any accident or injury to the teach immediately
- Wear proper lab attire: no loose clothing, hair tied back, close toe-d shoes and safety goggles
- Know wear safety equipment is locate: fire blanket and extinguisher, eye wash station and evacuation procedures
- Clean up after yourself
We also starting talking about the idea of being able to think and what that means. To me, thinking means being able to figure something out or solve a new problem based on what you already know. Thinking could also mean reflecting on or evaluating some idea. A lot of you guys also came up with some really good definitions of what it means to think in your journal entries. My goal is for all of you to be accomplished 'thinkers' by the end of this class.
Journal Question #1 : Why is it important to have rules?
Journal Question #2 : What does it mean to know how to think?
