SCIENCE - Week 2 Lesson 1: Science Safety Learning Objective: Students will be able to identify the rules of safety for conducting science experiments by answering questions and drawing pictures. Science “Core” Standards:
• U1: Scientists explain phenomena using evidence obtained from observations and or scientific investigations. Evidence may lead to developing models and or theories to make sense of phenomena. As new evidence is discovered, models and theories can be revised.
• U2: The knowledge produced by science is used in engineering and technologies to solve problems and/or create products.
________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: With an adult helper, work your way through the following science packet to learn about science safety! Today we are going to talk about safety with science. Can you think of 1 example of things that you should do during a science experiment to be safe? Can you think of anything that you might do during a science experiment that would be unsafe? Directions: Draw your examples below or write a sentence for each question.
57
Safety Begins Before You Start the Experiment!
Before we start any project, we must make sure our area is prepared. You will want to clear off your
desk by removing the school supplies. Look under your desk and on the floor around your desk to be
sure you have collected all your belongings and put them away. If you are done early, please ask
your neighbor if you can help them to get ready so too. When your area is ready you will wait for the
teacher to give you directions on what to do next. Remember it is polite to sit quietly in your chair and
wait patiently. It is not polite to yell at the teacher that you are ready. The experiment cannot begin
until everyone is ready and quietly waiting to hear the directions.
What do you do if there is a book on your desk and you need to prepare for a science lab? Put an X
next to the correct answer.
_____ Put it away.
_____ Leave it on my desk.
Dressing for Science
Sometimes you need to dress especially for science experiments.
• Secure your hair
• Check your jewelry
• Take off your sweater
• or jacket
• Tie your shoes
• Tuck in baggy shirts
• Use gloves & safety glasses
When you do science projects and experiments you must make sure that you are ready also.
Depending on what your class is doing you might need to do all these things you see here. If you are
doing something messy you will want to be sure that your hair is pulled up, so it stays clean. You
might want to take off your sweater or jacket to keep it clean or to make sure it does not get caught in
anything you are building. Most of the time you will need to remove rings and bracelets and tuck
58
necklaces into your shirt. Tying your shoes is very important so you do not accidentally trip while
carrying something important. Sometimes we need to wear gloves to protect our skin from chemicals
that might irritate it. You can wear safety glasses, sometimes called safety goggles, to protect your
eyes from splashing liquids.
Do you need gloves to cut and paste paper? Put an X next to the answer.
_____ yes _____ no
Directions: Draw a picture of yourself with your shirt tucked in.
Safe Lab Practices
There are some warnings that we need to cover when talking about safety with science. You must
follow all the directions very carefully. Follow along with the teacher demonstration so you do not
make a mistake. Be careful with your materials. If You are working with liquid, you do not want to spill
it. Powders should never be blown into the hair or thrown into the air. Sometimes you use glass with
science, it can break, and you can cut yourself. You also want to make sure that you are not wasting
supplies by adding too much of something just because it sounds like fun. If you are working with a
partner or group, you must be nice and take turns with them.
59
How would you feel if your partner did not let you do any of the science experiment?
Directions: Draw a picture or write a sentence about how you would feel if your partner did not let
you do anything for the science project.
Ask for permission!!! This part is very important. Sometimes we use things in science that we do not want to touch, taste,
or smell. You would not want to touch the borax solution for making slime. You would not want to
smell any power that might get up your nose, you would not want to taste the dish soap used to make
bubbles. If you want to touch, taste, or smell something in science you must ask your teacher first.
These 3 rules are to keep you safe from liquids and powders used in science labs. You can safely
see and hear science without getting hurt.
If the teacher gives you a cup with candy in it for a science experiment should you eat it without
asking permission? Put an X next to the answer.
_____ yes _____ no
In the Event of a Lab Accident…
What do you do if you have an accident? You guessed it! If anything, bad happens let your teacher
know so they can help you fix it. You can send your neighbor to get a teacher for you if you need to.
Accidents are always forgiven, and messes can be cleaned up. However, if you have created a mess

on purpose or misused your materials which resulted in a mess then you might have your science lab
taken from you. In this situation, you will watch someone else do the experiment, but you will not get
to do it yourself. It is best to be responsible so that your teacher can trust that you will make good
choices.
What will happen if your neighbor accidentally spills something on your desk? Put an X by the right
answers.
_____ I will yell at him.
_____ I will move my stuff to keep it safe.
_____ I will get a teacher to help.
_____ I will pour something on his desk, so it is fair.
Will you be in trouble if you have an accident?
_____ yes _____ no
At the End of Your Lab Time…
When you are finished with your project it is time to clean up. Sometimes there are special supplies
that you need to put in certain spots. Follow the teacher's instructions to know what to do. Do not put
any extra liquid back into bottle with the rest of it unless the teacher tells you to. If your liquid has
other items in it then you could ruin the bottle by adding used liquids in. Do not wipe any powder from
the desk and try to put it back into the container it came out of. Wet flour mixed with dry flour will ruin
all the flour. Most of the time if it has come out of the container the extra will go into the trash. Only
the unused part is saved. If there are spoons, plates, bowls, tiles, scales, or anything that you used
during science you need to put that where the teacher tells you to. Sometimes we use plastic spoons
and throw them out. Sometimes we use measuring spoons that must be washed and saved. Make
sure your trash is in the trash can if you did cutting and gluing. Check your floor for anything that
might need cleaned up. Check your paper for your name and be sure to turn it in so it can be graded.
When you are finished, check with your neighbor and see if you can help.

Who cleans up after you during science? Put an X by the right answer.
_____ me_____ the teacher_____ my neighbor
Remember Safety First!
We cannot do science experiments if you cannot do them safely. If you have questions about what to
do before, after, or during an experiment you must ask your teacher. Always remember that if your
class cannot follow directions there will be less fun science and more worksheets. If you cannot follow
directions and stay safe, then you will watch other people do science while you complete your
worksheet. How you act, think, and speak, and what you do is always your choice so if you make
good choices you will have fun with science.
Can you name one way to stay safe during science labs?
Can you name one thing that you should not do during science labs?
Directions: Draw a picture below of a child being safe and a child being unsafe.

SCIENCE - Week 2 Lesson 2: Different Types of Science Learning Objective: Students will be able to identify the main branches of science by discussing differences between Physical Science, Earth Science and Life Science. Science “Core” Standards:
• U1: Scientists explain phenomena using evidence obtained from observations and or scientific investigations. Evidence may lead to developing models and or theories to make sense of phenomena. As new evidence is discovered, models and theories can be revised.
• U2: The knowledge produced by science is used in engineering and technologies to solve problems and/or create products.
________________________________________________________________________________ Directions: With an adult helper, work your way through the following science packet to learn about different types of science!
Introduction: The 3 Main Categories of Science
1. Physical Science is the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects. 2. Earth Science is the branch of science dealing with the physical constitution of the earth and
its atmosphere. 3. Life Science is sciences concerned with the study of living organisms.
Physical Science
• Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and
time, and the related entities of energy and force.
• Chemistry the study matter, its properties, how and why substances combine or separate to
form other substances, and how substances interact with energy.
A Famous Chemist: Louis Pasteur was a French chemist who made a lot of contributions to medicine,
chemistry and industry that greatly benefited humanity. His discovery that bacteria spread diseases
has saved countless lives.
63
Earth Science
• Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and
to their physical surroundings. Geology is the science that deals with the earth's physical
structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.
• Oceanography is the branch of science that deals with the physical and biological properties
and phenomena of the sea.
• Meteorology is the branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of the
atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting the weather.
• Space and Astronomy is the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and
the physical universe.
A Famous Geologist: James Hutton first developed the idea of the theory that changes in the earth's
crust during geological history have resulted from the action of continuous and uniform processes.
Life Science
• Biology is the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their
morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
• Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology,
distribution, classification, and economic importance.
• Zoology is the scientific study of the behavior, structure, physiology, classification, and
distribution of animals.
• Human biology is the scientific study of human beings and populations from a biological point
of view.
• Mycology is the scientific study of fungi.
• Bacteriology the study of bacteria.
A Famous Zoologist: Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is the foundation upon
which modern evolutionary theory is built.
Conclusion The 3 main types of science are Physical Science, Earth Science, and Life Science.
Each type of science can be broken down into a more specific type of science.
Every type of science has many people who are famous for their discoveries.
