Let’s get started
Scientists ask questions and explore—but first we choose safe actions.
Learn together
- Ask a grown-up before touching unfamiliar objects or beginning an experiment.
- Look closely without tasting unknown things. Wash hands after handling materials.
- Keep materials away from eyes and mouth. Report spills or sharp objects to an adult.
Example to explore
Safe: ask an adult, look, listen, wash hands.
Try it yourself
- What should you do before exploring something unfamiliar?
- Is it safe to taste a mystery liquid?
- Name or draw one safety rule for your investigation table.
Hands-on project
Illustrate a three-picture scientist safety poster: ASK, OBSERVE, CLEAN UP. Teach an adult your rules.
Reflect and grow
Which safety rule will you practice every time?
