| We will begin this science unit, which has a particular focus on chemistry, with an introduction to safety. By way of a safety contract, we will discuss safety issues that we may face throughout this unit. The students will then have the opportunity to observe an experiment and identify safety equipment and procedures that should be considered and why. | |||||||||||||||||||||
