Welcome to Science with Mr. Miller - Please explore the resources below and read about Lab Safety.
Science - Safety is #1
Each student must read and sign a safety contract. Parents must also read and sign the safety contract. The text of that contract is located below, and you can download it by clicking here. Please feel free to contact Mr. Miller with any questions or concerns about this contract.
Here at Mill Creek, safety is our #1 priority, especially in the science lab. A safe and successful lab requires the students and teacher to conduct themselves in a respectful and responsible manner. If we all do our part, we will create a lab environment which we can work and learn in safely. We all agree to follow the safety rules listed below:
a. I will use and handle all equipment/materials in the manner for which they are intended.
b. I will learn the location and proper use of safety equipment and emergency procedures.
c. I will report all accidents to the teacher immediately.
d. I will clean and return all equipment to its proper place and dispose of chemicals and other waste products properly.
e. I will not eat, drink, taste or smell any food or substance in the lab unless directed to do so by the teacher.
f. I will conduct myself in a manner that will not distract or endanger myself, or others, in the lab.
g. I will read and follow directions carefully.
h. I will not perform unauthorized experiments.
i. I will not work in the lab alone.
Failure to follow these safety rules will result in the loss of lab privileges until a parent-student-teacher conference can be held.
