Stage 4
Content: WS5.2d Students plan first-hand investigations by describing safety and ethical guidelines to be addressed
Comic strips are a fun way of making students learn about lab rules and safety. Allowing students to be creative with the characters and creating a story of situation out of something usually considered quite boring or dry gives students a sense of autonomy and choice and allows students to be imaginative. Furthermore, allowing students to create their own comics to illustrate rules makes it easier to remember the rules.
Activity: Students will need to create a lab safety comic strip which goes through at least three aspects of lab safety eg. Long hair tied back, clean up spills immediately, enclosed shoes etc. These will need to be saved and shared to the other students. Students will then need to independently write up a set up lab rules to be checked by the teacher.
