27. National Identity Character Focus By linking the UAE's national identity to lab safety and hazard symbols, we can emphasize the importance of these practices in creating a safe, sustainable, and inclusive environment for all. Resilience: By fostering resilience in laboratories, we can enhance their ability to withstand challenges, protect the health and safety of personnel, and maintain a safe and productive working environment. Sustainability SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being Preventing injuries and illnesses: Lab safety practices help prevent accidents and exposure to hazardous materials, protecting the health and well-being of lab workers.

28. Key Words Starter Activity Tuesday, August 27, 2024 Safety rules and symbols Hazard Safety laboratory Who is your favorite sports team? What was your most important SDG from last lesson? How many languages can you speak? What are 2 of your dislikes? What sport are you interested in? What career would you like to pursue after school? Last lesson Last week Last topic

29. Activity 1 From the picture below, identify any hazards in the lab. Extension: Can you suggest any precautions the students could take to make the lab safer?

30. Answers From the picture below, identify any hazards in the lab. 1. running 2. eating sitting down during a practical bags on the desk coats on the desk goggles not covering the eyes unattended practical untied hair putting glass in the bin beakers on the edge of the desk Can you identify any other hazards?

31. Guided Instruction HAIR TIED BACK GOGGLES ALWAYS ON CORRECT UNIFORM CLOSED TOE SHOES ONLY WORK IN YOUR GROUP We don’t sit during experiments No eating. No drinking, without permission Only enter a Classroom when you have permission

32. Progression 1. From the diagrams below, work out what the rules are. 2. Which rule do you think is the most important in a lab? Put them in order from most important to least important. 3. Explain to the person next to you why you have put them in this order. Extension: Can you add any of your own rules that are not shown here?

33. Activity 2 Neatly, list six of the most important safety rules in the front of your book.

34. Write a short response answering the two following questions: What are the different reasons we would use a science laboratory? Why is safety in a science laboratory so important? A science laboratory is used for carrying out practical investigations. They can involve using dangerous chemicals and practical equipment such as Bunsen burners. Some practical equipment, such as test tubes, are easily breakable so care must be taken. The pupils’ and teacher’s health and safety are very important so that no one gets hurt. Activity 3

35. Homework Create a safety poster for the laboratory. You must include 6 safety rules minimum.

36. Problem-Solving Read the scenarios and explain what the teacher/student should do. You spill a chemical on the desk during a practical. What should you do? You notice a bag in the middle of the floor. What should you do? Your teacher notices a student sitting down at the desk during a practical. What should they do? Why? You feel hungry during a practical. What should you do? You drop a glass beaker on the floor and it breaks. What should you do? Plenary

37. You spill a chemical on the desk during a practical. What should you do? You notice a bag in the middle of the floor. What should you do? Your teacher notices a student sitting down at the desk during a practical. What should they do? Why? You feel hungry during a practical. What should you do? You drop a glass beaker on the floor and it breaks. What should you do? Tell your teacher. Clear it up if the teacher tells you to do so. Move the bag to either a bag storage area or place under the desk. Ask the pupil to stand up and push their chair under the desk. So, if there is a spillage, the pupil can move away more easily. Nothing. Wait until break or lunchtime. Tell your teacher. They will brush it up and place it in a glass bin. Plenary Read the scenarios and explain what the teacher/student should do.

41. Character focus National Identity Mark Determination: When studying physics, students often face challenges and setbacks. They may need to work hard to understand complex concepts and to solve difficult problems. This perseverance can help them to develop determination in other areas of their lives. Scientific equipment can be used to develop new technologies that can improve the lives of people in the UAE. For example, scientific equipment can be used to develop new medical treatments, new ways to conserve water, and new ways to generate renewable energy.
