General Lab Safety

This Amoeba Sisters video introduces science lab safety guidelines with memorable illustrations and an accompanying handout listed under "safety" on http://www.amoebasisters.com/handouts. This video includes the discussion of proper lab attire, importance of proper disposal of materials, precautions when heating substances, and the importance of the MSDS (pinned comment note: this term has actually been replaced with SDS). As mentioned throughout the video, these are only general safety guidelines and there are many more that may be applicable to specific labs- always read specific lab guidelines.

The end of this video prompts viewers to pause so that the following items can be located in the lab room (where applicable): eyewash, safety shower, aprons, goggles, gloves, fume hood, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, fire exit route map, container for broken glass, biohazard bag, chemical waste disposal, broom and dustpan, first aid kit, MSDS (SDS), and phone.

We cover the basics in biology concepts at the secondary level. If you are looking to discover more about biology and go into depth beyond these basics, our recommended reference is the FREE, peer reviewed, open source OpenStax biology textbook: https://openstax.org/details/books/bi...
