Safety is very important when doing Science. As we are not in a Science Lab, there are some experiments that we cannot do. For all experiments you do at home here are the Safety Rules:
Watch the video to see why safety is so important.
- Tell an adult before starting your Science experiments (and ask for help if needed)
- Tie up long hair and secure loose clothing
- Wear old clothes or an apron
- Do not eat or drink near your experiment
- Do not put your experiment in the fridge or near food
- Wash your hands when you finish your experiment
- Take care when using hot water or anything hot
- Take care when using candles
- Take care when using ice or anything cold
- Keep strong magnets away from mobile phones
- When using electricity or batteries, do not get them wet and do not make a short circuit (this is when the plus (+) and the minus (-) of the battery is connected with wire and nothing else – it gets very warm and could cause a fire)
