multiple-choice question
if glassware should break, which of the following is/are correct? (check all that apply.)
broken glass goes in a special container
tell the teacher immediately
put the broken glass in a sink for the teacher to find later
pick up the glass with your bare hands

Explanation:

• For "Broken glass goes in a special container": In a lab setting (common in natural science, especially chemistry or physics labs), broken glass needs to be disposed of in a special container to prevent injuries and follow safety protocols.
• For "Tell the teacher immediately": When an accident like broken glassware happens in a lab, informing the teacher (supervisor) immediately is a standard safety procedure to get proper guidance and prevent further issues.
• "Put the broken glass in a sink for the teacher to find later" is incorrect as it can cause blockages, injuries when handling sink contents, and is not a safe practice.
• "Pick up the glass with your bare hands" is incorrect as it can lead to cuts and injuries.

Answer:

A. Broken glass goes in a special container
B. Tell the teacher immediately
