NAME: Dara Lab Safety (Write in complete sentences!) 1. You have been injured in the laboratory (cut, burn,etc.)!

What should you do first? -If I was injured in the laboratory, the first things I would do is go to the teacher and do what they told us to do. And if there were no teacher around, and for example, I got some sort of chemical on my skin, I would go to the laboratory wash, to get rid of it. 2. When should you wear approved eye protection devices (such as goggles) in science class? -We should wear approved eye protection device when doing experiment with chemicals and materials that might hurt our eyes.

3. If you do not understand a direction or part of a lab procedure, what should you do?

-We should ask our teacher or any experts working in the lab.

5. Horseplay or practical jokes in the laboratory are . . . -Inappropriate and not acceptable at all time.

6. Why is it important to know the names and appearance of lab equipment before doing laboratory work? -Because we are going to use the word in the future and it basically is part of learning, and it also doesnt make sense working with equipment that we dont now the names.

8. List three items that are considered safety equipment in a science laboratory? -Goggles, Hand gloves & laboratory wash to avoid accidents and for emergency.

10. When is it OK to eat in a science laboratory? -Eating is not allowed in a science laboratory at all time.

11. A spill can cause an accident. When should you clean it? -Immediately Lab Equipment (Fill in the blank.)
13. Each one of these is called a Cylinder.

14. This staple of every chemistry lab is called a Beaker

15. This piece of glassware is called a Graduated cylinder.

16. This is a ____________________________________________________

Scientific Method 17. Describe how you would design an experiment to investigate this hypothesis: ---Plants always grow in the direction of the light (Be sure to indicate the independent and dependent variable) First I would take 2 plants that are not havent grow yet, place one of them on a desk and have a window open in the right. And the other plant would be place in the other side, with the window in the left opened. I would water both of them similarly. I would be observing. After 2 weeks, I will compare the results; I would note the data and information collected from the experiment and check if the hypothesis is correct.

18. What should you do if the results of an experiment turn out differently from what you expected? I would use the scientific method and do the experiment again by changing things that should be changed to make the experiment more accurate and precise.

20. Sitting in class sweating profusely, you notice that the door seems to be closed every time you perspire in class. This is most closely associated with which step in the scientific method? Stating the problem & Observation

21. A florist wants to see if Product X will extend the life of cut flowers so that they last longer. What is the independent variable? Product x

22. In an experiment, what is a control group?

The other plant that doesnt use the product x

23. What do you do to test a hypothesis?

An experiment comparing the 2 plants which one of them is the control group and the one that we use product x on.

25. An educated guess that has not been proven, but is based on knowledge and can be tested is called what? Hypothesis

26. A student notices that the evening sky is usually red. He wants to find out why. What should be his next step? Do an experiment to test the hypothesis.

27. An entomologist (bug scientist) wants to determine if temperature changes how many times a cricket chirps. What is the dependent variable? How many times a cricket chirps.

28. Think of a problem or question you might have in a normal day. Describe how you might figure out or solve it using the scientific method. Question: If a tree that is watered once every 3 days grow faster than tree that is watered once every 5 days. To figure it out, what I will do is take 2 plants that are completely the same and in the same sunlight, water a plant once every 3 days and the other one once every 5 days for a month, observing by the way. And then after a month, I will compare the 2 plants and see which plant grew faster.

30. Upon entering his science class, Jeff was provided with the items below. His teacher proceeded to tell him and his classmates to determine the volume of the irregularly shaped object.

a) List the materials that Jeff would use to determine the volume of the irregularly shaped object.

A graduated cylinder A ruler A water bottle ?? A scale

b) Explain, in detail, how Jeff would figure out the irregularly shaped objects volume.

To figure out the irregularly shaped objects volume, the first thing Jeff would do is measure the length and width of the object with a ruler, then the weight with the scale provided, and finally pour the water from the water bottle in the graduated cylinder to a certain ML and then put the object into the graduated cylinder and observe how much the water increased, after seeing how much the water increased, now you can minus the answer with the initial amount of water in the graduated cylinder and then you will get the answer.
