34. Discuss CLASSWORK FROM LAST CLASS:
Title: Recognizing laboratory safety

35. Write Question and answer in your Notebook
1. What are the proper practices for
working safely in a biology laboratory?
2.Why might eating or drinking in the
laboratory be dangerous?
3.How can reading through the entire
investigation before beginning the
procedure help prevent accidents?
4.What safety procedure should you
follow when cleaning up at the end of an
investigation?

36. Homework
