Lesson summary
The first part of this lesson is designed to be flipped so that students learn new content by watching a video in their own time. This strategy provides the opportunity for students to build their knowledge, attitudes and values by themselves, thereby freeing up class time for hands-on work. Furthermore, students learn how to be safe in a school lab so that science experiments can be conducted. They then create a poster that clearly communicates one lab safety rule.
Learning intentions:
Students will...
- familiarise themselves with a school science lab
- understand the definition of a hazards
- build a list of science lab rules to avoid accidents during practical sessions.
