  3. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 1. Science labs are inherently dangerous due to chemicals present. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the labs. 2. In case of injury, get the instructor, send someone for the instructor, or call for help immediately.

  4. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 3. Know where the fire extinguisher is. In case of fire in the lab, use common sense and play it safe. If it’s your clothes on fire, yell "FIRE" and roll on the floor or use a coat to smother flames. Chemical fires are dangerous. Water will often only make the situation worse. If you see abundant flames or smell smoke from and unknown source, you should call out "FIRE" and calmly, but quickly, evacuate the building, insisting others leave as well.

  5. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 4. If you spill chemicals on yourself or your clothes, rinse the area immediately with running water. If you splash chemicals in your eyes, go immediately to the eye wash station, turn on cold water, remove the red caps and lean down so that the water bubbles into your eyes. Keep rinsing while holding your eyes open and send someone else to get the instructor!

  6. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 5. Protect your eyes. Handle all chemical, including stains, below eye level. Wear protective goggles or glasses whenever you work with chemicals or microbes.

  7. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 6. Wash your hands with soap and water whenever leaving the lab for a break or at the end of class. 7. Wash your work area and spray it down with the disinfectant provided before each lab begins.

  8. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 8. Closed-toed shoes must be won at all times in the lab. Long pants are preferred, even in warm weather, to protect legs. Old clothes without baggy sleeves are recommended. 9. Keep the lab counter uncluttered. Stow extra books and coats on the back counter if available. 10. If you have long hair, tie it back to keep it out of your eyes and the chemicals.

  9. Biology Lab Safety Regulations & Student Responsibilities 11. Clean-up is your responsibility. Wash down your work area to remove spilled chemicals at the end of lab. Wash all glassware and dry it, including slides and cover slips. Sweep up broken glass and deposit it in the special cardboard container provided (not in the trash cans). Clean out the sink if you have used it. 12. Know what you are working with at all times and be prepared should something go wrong. Read the lab in advance and precisely follow all directions!!!

  10. BIOLOGY LAB SAFETY REGULATIONS & STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES SIGNATURE LIST

  11. Environmental Action Project • One of the main goals of BI101 is to help you gain an understanding of how you and your lifestyle impact our planet. • Have you heard in the news that human impacts on the planet have extreme consequences. What can you do about this problem? • One of the goals of this project is to make you aware of the numerous environment-related volunteer opportunities available in the Willamette Valley area.

  12. Turn to page 4 in Your Lab NotebookCross this page out!

  13. Environmental Action Project • You will work with a group of students from your lab to choose and participate in an activity. • At the end of the term, you will turn in a personal journal worksheet and your group will provide the class with a short oral presentation (including pictures from your volunteer activity).

  14. General Overview

  15. Proof of Participation You are required to submit proof of your participation in a volunteer activity. • You will be provided with an Individual Journal Worksheet that includes space for the signature and contact information for the volunteer coordinator for your activity.

  16. Proof of Participation • If your activity is not monitored by a member of the environmental organization you are assisting, you can submit photographs taken at the beginning and at the end of your activity (turn on the date/time stamp for your camera!). • I’m aware that unique situations arise during volunteer activities. • Please talk to me to determine if you can submit an alternate form of proof of participation.

  17. Getting Started on Your Service Project • Please do not begin contacting environmental organizations until your choice has been approved by your instructor. • Two groups in one lab section cannot perform service for the same organization. • Some of organizations will have scheduled events that you can sign up for. If these do not fit into your timeline you may need to contact other organizations to arrange an activity. • The volunteer activity you perform must be related to serving the environment.

  18. Getting Started on Your Service Project • As you make your plans, take a look ahead at the Individual Journal Worksheet. Will the activity you are planning allow you to answer the required questions? If not, you may want to choose another activity • Going door-to-door for fundraising, signature gathering, etc. participating in fundraising parties, and making phone calls are not acceptable activities for this assignment. Your activity should directly involve working with the environment (trail building, stream renovation, etc). • I do not feel that picking up garbage at a park or weeding flowerbeds provides sufficient experience for this project, but there are exceptions. The final decision is your instructor’s.

  19. Photographs • Each group is required to show photographs of their volunteer activity in the presentation at the end of the term. Make sure you have a camera with you! If you plan to use photographs as proof of participation, your camera must be able to produce a time and date stamp on the print.
