Working in a science lab can be dangerous, no matter if you’re in middle school or college or even beyond college. For example, when you’re working with chemicals you need to always wear goggles and gloves. If some chemicals get in or near your eyes, they can be extremely harmful. Also, a handful of chemicals can be just as harmful if they touch your skin. There’s also the times when a Bunsen burner and other tools similar to it are used, and you risk the hazard of a fire starting. A fire starting on a school campus is extremely dangerous and is risking the lives of a lot of children. For this reason, when working with tools like a Bunsen burner you should always be careful. Another thing that’s important to do is always listen to your teacher’s instructions; they know more than you, let’s face it, and they are giving you these instructions for a reason. Lab safety should always be the first thing on your mind when working on a science experiment; if it isn’t, there might be dire consequences.
