There once was a student named Larry, Larry was in science class with his teacher who thought the students cells, Earth science, and conduct labs. You see, Larry isn’t the brightest back scratcher that he’d sometimes get into trouble with the science equipment. Larry was using the basic beaker to measure some liquid for the lab, what the beaker does is it’s used for liquid measurements in the lab, while attending his counter Larry heard his name and turned around a bit too fast. After that, his hand went on and knocked the beaker making it spill on the counter having to get the teacher to clean it up. Larry realizing that he just spilled the beaker, noticed that some of it got on his hand, so he quickly ran to a tap to try to wash it off. Larry got a wicked itch on his eye and it was killing him (metaphorically), so he took a quick scratch, what could be the harm? Unlucky for Larry the liquid that was spilled on his hand had a weird symbol on it
(A substance that will damage anything it comes in contact with)
feeling a weird tingling feeling, Larry trying to remember, realized that it was corrosive. So he bolted to the eyewash station, took off his goggles, and started washing. after some time the pain went away and he was back in his lab. At his Lab, he was using the hot plate to heat up the Erlenmeyer flask that he was operating. Successfully reaching the right temperature he returned to pour it but for some reason LArry was zoning out and used his hands to pour it. As soon as Larry touched the flask his hand was burnt and instead of running it under hot water or telling the teacher he started blowing on it thinking it would help. The bottle where the liquid came from had this symbol.
( Something flammable *Keep it away from fire*)
After asking the teacher as casually as possible he went to run it some more under hot water for 15 minutes and get ice for it after the water. Afetr half an hour of resting, Larry was good to go. Being as careful as ever, Larry used the beaker thongs to pour his concoction. The beaker thongs worked and the Lab was successful with no fatal injuries to Larry.
Dilemma: Animal testing
Thanks for your fictional safety story. You communicated your understanding of safety issues in the Science class and included a few pieces of scientific equipment. Great work including the safety signs in your post. Don’t forget to explain the Science ethical dilemma you mentioned.
