3. MSDS • MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet • Explains everything you need to know about a chemical and more • It tells you: What it looks and smells like How safe or dangerous is What protective equipment you need if you’re around it

4. What it tells you cont’d first aid if you get it on you fire fighting info if it catches on fire what to do if you spill it how to handle and store it its chemical and physical properties its stability/reactivity toxicity disposal and transport if it’s regulated

5. MSDS Divided into 16 Sections • Same sections for all chemicals • See example Calcium Chloride • Will post one or more MSDS up for each lab we do this year

6. PROJECT: MSDS Student • Your job is to create a MSDS for yourself. It must reflect your personality, habits, likes, and dislikes. Yes, it can be funny but it must be appropriate and tasteful. It will be up on the wall for all to see, even your parents on Meet the Teacher night! Information should be presented using scientific terminology. Include a picture of yourself, the element (10 points). The characteristics under each property are only meant to be a guide; you may use them all or add more. Your MSDS must be the front of one page, no more, no less. Be creative and colorful (20 points). • The following information must be found on your MSDS. • Element Name: 10 points • Atomic mass: 5 points • Symbol: 5 points • Discoverer(s): 5 points • Occurrence: 5 points (Highly concentrated deposits located in… Extremely low quantities in…) • Physical Properties: (20 points) • Surface properties • Boils when… • Melts if… • Can cause _________ if… • Specimens can be found in various states (emotions and what causes them)… • Becomes stubborn and unyielding when… • Chemical Properties: (20 points) • Is repelled by… • Is attracted to… • May explode spontaneously if… • Requires copious amounts of… • Is inert if… • Will repel… • Is unaffected by… • Total Possible Points: 100 • Remember, be creative!! You can use a computer to make it or do a cut-and-paste collage. This project counts as a lab grade. Due TUESDAY 9/3/13
