Take the fear out of science lessons. This easy-to-digest book relieves many of the safety worries that come with teaching science in elementary school.

Chapters cover: making safe work habits second nature to students; equipping your classroom for safety and convenience, including organizational systems for preparation, setup, and cleanup; choosing and culturing live plants and animals for classroom study; and working safely with electricitiy, chemicals, and volunteers. A special added ingredient: model forms that can be adapted for your needs, including permission slips and student contracts.
