 One day, during science class. We were doing a lab that involves hydrofluoric acid and metal. When we first arrived Mr., Robinson explained the experiment and went over the safety and procedure in case of an emergency. First, we put on our safety goggles and rubber gloves to protect us from any chemicals or materials. We then grabbed the fluorocarbon container instead of a beaker to hold the acid. After that we grabbed a piece of metal to be submerge in the acid. Once we started our experiment, I noticed that there where multiple hazard signs I didn’t know the meaning of. When I dropped the metal into the hydrofluoric acid some of it splashed out onto the desk and into my eyes, so I ran and told the teacher, and I used the eyewash station for 15 minutes and right beside me was this showerhead if you ever got on fire. Mr. Robinson cleaned up the desk cautiously and safely. By the time I got back to my experiment the metal completely dissolved and it was very cool. As we were cleaning up the experiment, I dumped the acid down the sink without any thought and soon released the sink and drainage were made of metal, but it was too late for anything to be done. When I got home from school, I felt Quilty but wanted to study what those hazard signs on the container meant. The next day Mr. Robinson found the disaster and gave us a lecture on how much money it was going to cost to get it fixed and why it was dangerous not to tell him. I still have not confessed because I didn’t want my parents to know about it and I didn’t want them to be charged for the damage, but I really wanted to confess and get it off my chest.

 The ethical Delima a chose was should we colonize other planets. If we colonize another planets human might mess it up. For example, say there’s other life on that planet and we kill them just because we pass on disease to them our immune system can handle but there’s can’t. But on the other hand, our planet isn’t going to last forever, and we will need to colonize another planet for

  1. Excellent work on your fictional safety story. You fully communicated your understanding of safety issues in the Science class and included many pieces of scientific equipment. You have a good understanding of the safety symbols and told a detailed Science ethical dilemma.
