What is Science?
Science is the systematic study of nature and how it effects us and our environment.
Important is science.
• Understand ourselves. Knowing how our body work.
• Understand our environment. This helps us to improve the quality of our environment and conserve it for our future generation.
• Makes our life more comfortable.

Science Laboratory
1. Laboratory is the place where a scientist works.
2. Carrying out experiments is interesting and exciting. However, some chemicals used may be dangerous and poisonous.
3. To prevent injury to oneself and others, one needs to know the general rules and safety precautions in a laboratory.

- Never enter the laboratory unless a teacher is present.
- Do not eat, drink or taste any chemicals.
- Always follow the teacher’s instruction.
- Never touch chemicals with your bare hands. Use a spatula.
- Read the label on a reagent bottle before using its content.
- Turn of the bunsen Burner after use.
- Do not pure back any unused chemical into its bottle.
- Do not throw solid wastes into the sinks.
- Wash and keep all apparatus after use.
- Do not run or play in the laboratory.
- Do not taste anything without the teacher’s permission.
- Report any breakages to the teacher.
- Keep the bench clean and tidy.
