Acid in the Eye
 GeeWhiz - its already time to start thinking about a new year! With the new student crowd comes the need for training in lab safety.  The "Acid in the Eye" demo is excellent for illustrating the dangers of using acids and other caustics. Also check out the Flaming Vapor Ramp (great to demonstrate the dangers of volatile hydrocarbons).

Two great end-of-year activities are tie dye week (right) and the freezing point reduction lab (left), also known as the ice cream lab!
These labs are legendary with the students, and are a great way to cap off a school year. Although it takes some planning and supply gathering, after conducting the lab for one or two years you will be surprised at how easy and smooth they go. Click on the pictures to view the instruction pages.

Teachers! Handy NSF Website
The National Science Foundation's website has some short videos from their online magazine "Science Nation" that make great openers or discussion points for any science classroom. You can download the videos or link to them in your PowerPoint. Most are only 4-5 minutes and can generate great STEM discussion.

Kowabunga !
 You have to cover lab safety at the start of the year, right? You'd love to take this boring but essential subject and spice it up a bit, eh?  Well,some grad students at UC Berkley have put together a great video to help you do just that. Check it out, then plug it in at the beginning, end, or middle of your lab safety lesson - wherever it needs a kick!
