Science Safety Survey

Context:This science safety survey was created and completed for science education GS 4401 under the advisement of Jeff Goodman during Block II in the fall of 2007.

Impact:This science safety survey is a good resource for teachers to have and refer to in order to help ensure the safety of their students. It also provides further resources for teachers to access to help them in the case of an emergency and could potentially help them avoid a lawsuit. The safety of students in the classroom is very important, and this survey can be used to help ensure that safety.

Alignment: Standard 17:

                  -Indicator 2: This indicator was met because the survey is a good resource for teachers to have and review to help analyze activities and materials for safety before they are used by students.

                  -Indicator 3: This indicator was met because the survey contains the various safety procedures that need to be understood and complied with, according to science safety laws and procedures.

                  -Indicator 4: This indicator was met because the safety survey can be used by teachers to help model and instruct their students regarding correct classroom safety procedures.

                 -Indicator 5: This indicator was met because the survey helps teachers understand current classroom safety procedures, as well as develop improvements for these procedures.
