(who, what, where, why)
Measurable: How will you demonstrate and evaluate
the extent to which the goal has been met?)
Achievable: stretch and challenging goals within
ability to achieve outcome. What is the actionoriented verb?
Relevant: How does the goal tie into your key
responsibilities? How is it aligned to the objectives?
Timely: Set one or more target dates (including
deadlines, dates and frequency), the “by when” to
guide your goal to successful and timely completion
1. I will lose weigh
2. I will lose weigh by June 1st by walking 20 minutes a

 Page 7 Notes on Lab Safety Rules
List 3 safety rules you have
learned in your previous
science classes.
Rule #1
Read and understand all safety
instructions before you begin.
Rule #2
Follow directions and use the equipment
only as instructed.
Rule #3
Locate the emergency exit and safety
equipment, including the eye/face wash,
fire extinguisher, fire blanket, and

unused chemicals to original source.
Keep the correct spatula and/or stopper
with its container
Rule #8
Report all accidents, spills, and broken
glass to the teacher.
Rule #9

smelling chemicals (waft instead).
Rule #10
Keep metals and water away from
electrical equipment.
Rule #11

What’s wrong with these pictures?
You have looked up the hazards of the chemicals you
will be using in a particular lab, and found out that
they are mild health hazards, requiring you to avoid
skin contact and vapor inhalation. Therefore, when
in lab you should:
a. wear short shorts and sandals
b. wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and a
lab apron
c. wear gloves
d. b and c
e. a and c
If the fire alarm sounds, you should:
a. do nothing - it is probably a false alarm
b. shut down your experiment, get your stuff,
then leave the building
c. leave the building immediately following
fire alarm protocols
d. grab a fire extinguisher and/or safety wash
1. Quietly write at least 5 sentences in your
“note journal” summarizing what you
have learned today.
2. If you finish early and have any question
for me, please write on a post-it-note and
stick it to the “parking lot”.
3. Please wait for me to dismiss the class!
You are wonderful! 
Love having you in class!
Thank you!:
