of Matter, Solutions, Separation Techniques, and many more which
students will study in the first 3 years of MYP and then in Physics.

Lab Safety

Many laboratories contain significant risks, and the

prevention of laboratory accidents requires great care
and constant vigilance. Lab safety is an essential
process which is a part of following lab rules and
understanding safety symbols to conduct safe
experiments with correct procedure.

Lab Rules – Lab rules are essential for
following the code of conduct in a

laboratory and will help keep you safe.
You must follow the rules in order to
keep yourself safe from harm and keep
