minion mayhem!!!
the minions are trying to practice good lab safety skills, but are struggling big time! read each scenario, then write out where the minions went wrong to help them do better in the future!
scenario #1
kevin the minion was working in the lab one day handling hcl - hydrochloric acid. while doing this, he had forgotten to put his gloves and glasses on, and had not put on a lab coat. kevin accidently slipped on a banana that he had been snacking on earlier that day, which caused him to spill the acid and burn himself.
how did kevin fail to practice good lab safety?

scenario #2
bob and stuart the minions were playing in the lab one day while kevin was working on an experiment using glass beakers. kevin had learned his lesson and was practicing good lab safety, but bob and stuart were more concerned with their game. kevin asked them to leave the lab since he was working with glass that could break. sadly, they did not listen, and ended up knocking the glass over. when the glass was broken on the floor, bob stepped on it and cut his feet.
how did bob and stuart fail to practice good lab safety?

scenario #3
stuart the minion was working on a science experiment for gru when he became very hungry. he realized that he had forgotten to eat lunch! he had been working with several different chemicals that day, including na - sodium, c - carbon, and n - nitrogen. these three combined to form nacn - sodium cyanide, a dangerous poison! stuart thought it would be safe to eat in the lab anyway, and so he ate his lunch. not long after, stuart started feeling very sick.
how did stuart fail to practice good lab safety?
