My students are creative, inquisitive and always ready to learn something new! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. They ask me if we are blowing out something every other day...….that's what they see learning Chemistry as.
Hands-on activities motivates every student in my class, and they demonstrate an intense level of curiosity in science.
Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning chemistry. I incorporate a variety of learning strategies, labs, group work, and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!
Our school is located in Rural Mississippi Delta region, surrounded by Agricultural farms and 98% of my students are on Free and reduced lunch, 95% of them come from single parent families.
Very soon I will be teaching Types of Chemical Reactions and my students will need to be in the Chemistry lab. We know chemical laboratory classes include hands-on, inquiry-based investigations. Most of the laboratory activities involve the use of chemicals or equipment that may pose a health or safety danger to students and teachers if not handled properly. To ensure a safe and healthy environment in our classrooms and laboratories, student should use lab safety equipment.
Gloves and Safety goggles are consumables and need to be replaced periodically and when needed.
Before conducting any experiment, I access the hazards related to the work, including; what are the worst possible things that could go wrong, how would we deal with them, and what are the prudent practices, protective facilities and equipment necessary to minimize the risk of exposure to the hazards. As we know the basic things needed in lab are safety goggles and gloves which could prevent most of the hazards.
