See JCHAS editorial here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jchas.2014.01.009 While this may not be the root cause of the incidents, I have maintained it is nearly so. Chemical safety is learned in the laboratory, and when we are allowing our secondary school educators to skip out on laboratory courses in order to become a "teacher", they do not get the requisite safety information.Harry Elstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091371872387480309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-57107778178993375952018-04-16T00:41:11.368-04:002018-04-16T00:41:11.368-04:00Putting an end to alcohol flame demos is worth get...Putting an end to alcohol flame demos is worth getting fired up over.DDTeanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-41704894676412248602018-04-13T10:09:50.627-04:002018-04-13T10:09:50.627-04:00Is there a module in the training for science teac...Is there a module in the training for science teachers about safe demonstrations? I know that a lot of teachers in those positions are sometimes not even trained in science (some are formally math or even much further removed fields). I TA'd chem labs for BEd students and oof... both the curriculum and their fine motor skills were rough at times :(Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422075165730432067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-79433619613340779202018-04-11T08:13:19.060-04:002018-04-11T08:13:19.060-04:00In the words of Lord Voldemort, when will they lea...In the words of Lord Voldemort, when will they learn?
