STC^® Classroom Safety Sheets
Carolina wants you and your students' experience with STC to be instructive, fun, and safe. Because the units were developed for young children, they do not include items or activities that are hazardous when used or performed according to the instructions. Still, there is room for caution. The teacher's guides for the units include safety tips or classroom management suggestions to minimize any hazards. There is also a set of classroom safety sheets included in each kit.

Before starting a new unit, please read your teacher's guide thoroughly and do the following:

• Hand out the classroom safety sheets and go over them with your students. Make sure your students understand the general science safety rules as well as any specific precautions associated with particular activities.
  
• Post a list of science safety rules in the classroom.

Your students will develop laboratory safety skills early in their careers if you emphasize safety as a component of each science activity.

You can download additional classroom safety sheets from us if you need them. If you do not already have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader installed, you will need it to download, view, or print these files.
