Ms. Gardner teaches seventh-grade science. For the first time in her career, her room is equipped with several lab stations. Because of this, she plans to have her students perform more hands-on experiments. She is excited by this prospect but also concerned that her students will be disruptive as they go to their lab stations and work in small groups. She is also concerned that her students will get hurt if they are not careful at the lab stations. To alleviate her concerns, help Ms. Gardner:. a. Develop a set of classroom rules
i) Students will be barred from accessing lab stations unless they are permitted and/ or under supervision
ii) Lab groups will be assigned for purposes of minimizing the disorderly behaviors
iii) The safety concerns will be addressed before students move to lab stations
iv) Horseplay at lab stations are disallowed
b. Create at least three procedures for walking to and working at the lab stations
i) While in the lab, students must walk slowly and carefully
ii) Unless it is absolutely crucial, no student should leave from his/ her lab station
iii) Be cautious when moving lab equipment and chemicals
