Correct Answer
A. Fire extinguisherExplanation
In a lab, a fire extinguisher is necessary for safety purposes in case of any fire emergencies. It is important to have a fire extinguisher readily available to quickly and effectively extinguish any potential fires that may occur during experiments or other lab activities. This ensures the safety of the lab personnel and helps prevent any serious accidents or damages. The other items listed, such as shoes, test tubes, flask, and apple, may also be present in a lab, but they are not essential for safety as compared to a fire extinguisher.Rate this question:

It is always safe to wear what kind of shoes during an experiment?
-
Sandals
-
None
-
Closed toe shoes
Correct Answer
A. Closed toe shoesExplanation
Closed toe shoes are the safest option to wear during an experiment because they provide protection to the feet from any potential hazards or accidents. They cover the entire foot, reducing the risk of injury from falling objects, spills, or chemicals. Closed toe shoes also offer better stability and support, reducing the chance of slips or trips. Sandals and going barefoot leave the feet exposed and vulnerable to injuries, making them unsafe choices for experiments.Rate this question:

It is always good to wash your hands before leaving a lab.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Washing hands before leaving a lab is important because it helps to prevent the spread of germs and contaminants. Labs often contain hazardous materials or biological substances that can be harmful if touched or ingested. By washing hands, any potential pathogens or chemicals that may have been picked up during lab work can be removed, reducing the risk of contamination to oneself or others. Additionally, it promotes good hygiene practices and maintains a clean environment in the lab.Rate this question:

-
Eating,drinking and playing around
-
Both c & d
Correct Answer
A. Both c & dExplanation
Both options C and D are prohibited in a lab. Playing around and eating, drinking, and playing around are not allowed in a lab environment. This is because labs require a focused and controlled atmosphere to ensure safety and accuracy in experiments. Playing around can lead to accidents or damage to equipment, while eating, drinking, and playing around can introduce contaminants or interfere with the experiment. Therefore, both options C and D are not permitted in a lab.Rate this question:

When working in a lab your hair should always be:
-
All over your head
-
Tied up
-
In your face
Correct Answer
A. Tied upExplanation
When working in a lab, it is important to tie up your hair. This is because loose hair can be a safety hazard, as it can easily come into contact with chemicals, flames, or equipment, potentially causing accidents or contamination. Tying up your hair helps to keep it away from your face and prevents it from falling into experiments or obstructing your vision, ensuring a safe and clean working environment.Rate this question:

-
Caution your lab partners to avoid the area while you inform the teacher of the small accident.
Correct Answer
A. Caution your lab partners to avoid the area while you inform the teacher of the small accident.Explanation
The correct answer emphasizes the importance of safety and responsible behavior in a laboratory setting. By cautioning lab partners to avoid the area, you are ensuring their safety and preventing any potential harm. Informing the teacher about the accident is necessary as they can provide guidance on proper cleanup procedures and ensure that any necessary precautions are taken. This answer promotes responsible behavior and prioritizes safety in the laboratory.Rate this question:

You should wear a safety goggle during every science block.
-
True. You can never be too safe.
-
False. You should wear goggles only when working with chemicals or heat.
Correct Answer
A. False. You should wear goggles only when working with chemicals or heat.Explanation
Wearing safety goggles only when working with chemicals or heat is the correct answer because goggles are specifically designed to protect the eyes from potential hazards such as chemical splashes or flying debris caused by heat-related processes. Wearing goggles during every science block may be excessive and unnecessary if there are no activities involving chemicals or heat. It is important to prioritize safety, but it is also important to use protective equipment appropriately and in accordance with the specific risks involved.Rate this question:

-
True. You don't want to fall behind everyone else.
-
False. You should always read the directions before you start a lab.
Correct Answer
A. False. You should always read the directions before you start a lab.Explanation
It is important to read the directions before starting a lab because they provide important information about the experiment, including safety precautions, materials needed, and the steps to follow. By reading the directions first, you can ensure that you understand the purpose of the lab and how to properly conduct it, reducing the risk of making mistakes or causing accidents. This also allows you to ask any questions or seek clarification from the teacher before starting, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of what needs to be done.Rate this question:

What is important to remember while you are using heat?
-
Do not heat closed containers.
-
Point the mouth of the container away from yourself and classmates.
-
Always use clamps to hold the container.
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
It is important to remember all of the above while using heat. Heating closed containers can cause pressure to build up and result in explosions. Pointing the mouth of the container away from yourself and classmates ensures that any potential splattering or bursting of the container does not cause harm. Using clamps to hold the container securely prevents accidental spills or drops while handling heated substances. Therefore, all of these precautions should be followed to ensure safety while using heat.Rate this question:

Always use water to put out a fire.
-
True.
-
False.
Correct Answer
A. False.Explanation
Using water to put out a fire is not always the correct approach. While water is effective for extinguishing certain types of fires, such as those involving combustible materials like wood or paper, it can actually make some fires worse. For example, using water on a grease fire can cause the flames to spread and create a more dangerous situation. Additionally, water should not be used on electrical fires as it can conduct electricity and cause electrocution. Therefore, the statement "Always use water to put out a fire" is false.Rate this question:

-
True. They can get into chemicals, fire, or knock something over.
-
False. They are perfectly safe as long as you have read through all of the directions.
Correct Answer
A. True. They can get into chemicals, fire, or knock something over.Explanation
Long hair, hanging jewelry, and loose clothing can pose a risk in a lab environment. Long hair can easily get caught in equipment or chemicals, potentially causing harm or accidents. Hanging jewelry can also get caught in equipment or chemicals, leading to injuries or damage. Loose clothing can easily brush against objects or equipment, potentially knocking something over or causing spills. Therefore, it is true that long hair, hanging jewelry, and loose clothing can be dangerous in a lab.Rate this question:
