I was recently reading the October 20, 2021 NSTA Blog, hosted by the National Science Teaching Association. This blog was entitled, "Creating a Culture of Science Safety: 7 Teacher Tips for This Fall (and Beyond)," written by Mike Marvel.

The seven tips that follow will help ensure safe lab practices year-round while helping educators establish a science culture rooted in safety:

2. Conduct research

3. Never add methanol to a burning flame

4. Inspect equipment

5. Use a safety contract

6. Provide frequent reminders

7. Build student confidence
