    Common responses we’ve heard include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    equipment: beakers, bunsen burners, scales, microscopes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    furniture: lab benches, stools, hoods, safety showers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    specimens: dissected animals, fossils, tanks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, the people described are often sterotypically similar, possibly due to only a few well-know scientists like Einstein, Newton, or Darwin.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Science is richer with diverse perspectives.\u00a0 There are many ways to participate in science: helping your kids with their science homework, working in a community garden, or voting on science-related issues.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Laboratories are settings where you can control variables (like light, temperature, and noise) and have easy access to needed equipment.<\/p>\n

    You can use a kitchen, bathroom, or even a corner is a closet.\u00a0 The key is to not leave any potential safety hazards behind.\u00a0 For example, not leaving animal wastes in your fridge.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Before any laboratory or field work,<\/p>\n

    safety comes first.<\/h5>\n

    We will be looking at safety from different perspectives throughout this course.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
