Do Now:

Beyoncé was looking good while conducting her lab in a long sleeved top, open-toed shoes and hair down and flowing.  She was also hungry and decided to have an apple snack during her lab.

In complete sentences...
  1. Describe what Beyoncé did wrong and why that put her in danger.                                                                                                                       "It is unsafe for Beyoncé to... because..."               
  2. What should have Beyoncé done to be safe?                                                                             "In order for Beyoncé to be safe she should have... so that..."   

"Do Now" Answer:

It is unsafe for Beyonce to eat food during class and wear clothing that is inappropriate for lab day.  This is unsafe because chemicals could get on her food or her hair and sleeves could fall into chemicals.  Open-toed shoes are also dangerous because chemicals could spill on her toes.  In order for Beyonce to be safe she should tie her hair back, roll up her sleeves, wear shoes that cover her feet and not eat during labs.
