  3. Agenda Today: August 26, 2013 Bell schedule • Bellringer- review safety symbols and safety guidelines (introduction) & equipment • Syllabus: Review Harris’ Signals (rules & procedures) • Nuclear Fall-out (What can you contribute?) • HW: Your Safety Symbol & Safety Contract Get a 5- subject notebook

  4. ___________ ___________ ___________ CatalystFind the safety symbol at the desks that match your symbol name or safety guideline , then have a seat. Identify each safety symbol. __________ __________ __________ ___________ ___________ ___________ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

  5. Flammable Explosive Toxic/Poison Irritant Corrosive Biohazard Essential Question: Which of these symbols do you think you will encounter in a physics class? Explain why. • No eating/drinking • Radiation • High Voltage Answer:

  6. Homework: Your Safety SymbolPick one of the safety symbols or create your own safety symbol that best fits your personality. Your Name (20 pts): Symbol (20 pts): Brief description of your symbol (20 pts). Explain how the symbol relates to your personality (20 pts). 4 colors (20 pts) Mrs. Harris This symbol lets you know that there is a large amount of voltage being used in the area and it could be dangerous if not treated with respect. I expect to be treated with respect because I treat others with respect. It is never good when I am disrespected….

  7. Safety Guidelines • Use the picture to aid you in determining at least 5 safety rules w/in a lab setting • For each rule, identify something in the picture that demonstrates a violation of it and one that supports it

  8. I, the student, agree to: • Act responsibly at all times in the lab • Follow instructions given, orally or in writing, by the teacher • Perform only activities assigned • Protect my eyes, face, hands, and body by wearing proper lab attire • Carry out good housekeeping practices • Be aware of the location of safety equipment and notify my teacher of injury • Never eat, drink, or work alone in the laboratory IAN 1

  9. Nuclear Fall-out Imagine one day the ultimate threat is about to occur. There’s going to be a nuclear holocaust. Sirens are blasting, and news stations are reporting that nuclear missiles around the world have been launched. You only have hours before the first one lands on US soil. The inhabitants in the initial strike zones will be instantly incinerated and those left standing will soon be overcome with radiation poisoning from the nuclear fallout. In addition, the mushroom clouds will send up tons of dust and dirt which will block out the sun, possibly for years. What do you do? You know you must move and find safety, fast. Because you were pro-active and already have a plan of action in case of emergencies, you know where you are going to run to. You are going to head for your bomb shelter that you have already equipped with the necessary provisions.
