Inquiring Safely

This is a laboratory safety manual written by experienced teachers who know both middle school science content and how middle school students behave. While covering safety concepts in the context of classrooms, the book also helps the teacher involve students as partners in safety within an inquiry-based science curriculum. Among the topics: handling safety issues in specific disciplines, such as physical science, chemistry, Earth science, and biology; equipping your classroom for safety and convenience; disposing of chemicals and other hazardous materials; supervising students' online activities; and accomodating students with special needs.
