Science Tidbits
August 8, 2016
Welcome Back!
In case you aren't aware; science will remain the same this year. The state is not changing the curriculum or the test this school year. However, the state department of education has created a committee to revise the science standards this year. So, we should see a change coming soon. This is great news for science in Louisiana!
Again, I hope you had a great summer and I am excited to visit you in your classrooms again this year. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in your classroom.

Let's Talk About Safety
I would like everyone to visit: http://labsafety.flinnsci.com/Home.aspx and take the GHS training assessment. It only takes 30 minutes to watch the video and take the assessment. Once you are done you will receive a certificate that states you have completed the GHS label elements and safety data sheets training. As of December 2013 we are required under the OSHA communication standard to complete the training. Please print the certificate for your records upon completion.
I also challenge you to participate in either the high school safety course or the middle school safety course. This is a 7 hour course but you can break it down into short segments. Flinn scientific saves your work for you to come back and finish later. I am also taking this course and it has proven to be very interesting. Please take the time to watch the videos and take the assessments. You will receive 7 CLUs from Flinn upon completion. You may also see a "POP" question in your tidbits. :-)
Remember, it is our duty to provide the safest laboratory environment for students. We will have a safety meeting early this year and I encourage everyone to come. More details later.
