Safety Story

One day during science… There was a student named Julian. Julian was in the science lab doing an experiment. Th experiment was how plants would react specific chemicals. He didn’t know whether it was right or wrong to be killing plants. He decided that he didn’t want to do that because he didn’t support it so he went and talked to the teacher to do alternative. He ended up going into the other science class with the fume hood. The problem is that he got into the class right when the experiment started so he didn’t get the lesson on how to do it.  When he got in there his first mistake was he forgot to get safety goggles on and nobody reminded him. He didn’t put the fume hood low enough and he put the graduated cylinder inside it and his eyes were starting to burn from the fumes since he had no goggles. The only thing he did right was quickly get over to the eyewash station beside the sink and broken glass area once his eyes started hurting.
