Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.1 Laboratory Safety and Equipment skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which review question best checks both equipment choice and lab safety before an investigation begins?
AWhat tool measures the variable, what hazard could occur, and what PPE and disposal steps are needed?
BWhat color is the table?
CCan the group finish without reading directions?
DWhich student can skip cleanup?
Solution & Explanation:The best review question connects measurement tools, possible hazards, protective equipment, and disposal before the lab starts.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Look at the four lab safety checklist diagrams labeled A-D. Which checklist is most complete for students to use before starting?
ALab safety checklist diagram A
BLab safety checklist diagram B
CLab safety checklist diagram C
DLab safety checklist diagram D
Solution & Explanation:Checklist A is best because it covers PPE, equipment condition, labels, hazards, emergency locations, and cleanup or disposal.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A student wants to take a photo of the lab setup for a report. Which safety rule still applies?
ARemove goggles so the photo looks better
BKeep PPE on, avoid crowding, and keep the device away from liquids and heat
CStand over the hot plate for the best angle
DMove unlabeled chemicals closer to the phone
Solution & Explanation:Taking a photo does not remove lab hazards, so students still need PPE and must protect equipment from liquids and heat.
