Science Safety And Science Tools Quiz - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Safety goggle must be worn when using:

    • Fire

    • Sharp instruments

    • Chemicals

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Safety goggles must be worn when using fire, sharp instruments, and chemicals because all of these activities pose potential risks to the eyes. Fire can produce sparks or debris that can cause eye injuries. Sharp instruments can cause accidental cuts or punctures to the eyes. Chemicals can splash or emit fumes that can irritate or damage the eyes. Wearing safety goggles provides a barrier of protection against these hazards and helps prevent eye injuries.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which piece of safety equipment is MOST important to wear when working with chemicals that could splash or create fumes?

    • Gloves 

    • Lab coat 

    • Goggles 

    • Closed-toe shoes

    Correct Answer
    A. Goggles 
    Explanation
    Goggles are the most crucial safety item when dealing with potentially hazardous chemicals. They provide a protective barrier for the eyes, preventing splashes and harmful fumes from causing irritation, burns, or even blindness. While other options offer protection, goggles directly safeguard the vulnerable eyes, making them paramount in a laboratory setting.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Goggles are not needed if you wear glasses.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Wearing glasses does not eliminate the need for goggles. Goggles provide additional protection for the eyes, especially in certain situations such as swimming, working with chemicals, or participating in sports. Glasses may not provide adequate coverage or protection from potential hazards. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that goggles are not needed if you wear glasses.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Make sure equipment is clean

    • Before you use it

    • After you use it

    • Both a and b

    • When you have time

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a and b
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Both a and b" because it is important to clean the equipment both before and after using it. Cleaning the equipment before use ensures that it is free from any dirt or contaminants that could affect its performance or cause harm. Cleaning the equipment after use helps to maintain its longevity and prevent the buildup of any residue or bacteria. By doing both, you can ensure that the equipment is in optimal condition and safe to use.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following pieces of safety equipment is NOT typically found in a science laboratory?

    • Fire extinguisher 

    • Safety goggles 

    • Hard hat 

    • Emergency shower

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard hat 
    Explanation
    While hard hats are essential safety equipment in construction or industrial settings, they are not typically necessary in a science laboratory. The primary hazards in a lab usually involve chemicals, glassware, and potential fires. Therefore, fire extinguishers, safety goggles, and emergency showers are essential for protecting against these specific risks.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    I may eat in the classroom when

    • Ever I want to

    • With teacher permission

    • When I am sure it is safe to do so

    • Never

    Correct Answer
    A. With teacher permission
    Explanation
    Eating in the classroom is allowed only when the teacher gives permission. This implies that the student should not eat in the classroom without the teacher's consent. It is important to follow the rules and regulations set by the teacher to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment.
