The document outlines several safety rules for students to follow when conducting experiments in a science laboratory. Key rules include: only operating equipment with teacher permission, tying back long hair, reading all labels and instructions carefully before handling any chemicals or equipment, never tasting or smelling chemicals, keeping hands away from face while using lab materials, and leaving the work station clean after finishing. Safety is the top priority, and students must follow all instructions given by the teacher.
