Tuesday, September 29th

• In your notebook (not your lab notebook) write down your answers to the following:

1.We work with a lot of different chemicals in chemistry labs. Often, my directions to you are to dump the waste into a beaker for me to take care of. What do I do with this waste? How do I know where it goes?

2.What environmental concerns do you think need to be taken into account when doing a lab?

3.What other (non-environmental) factors might cause us to use one chemical over another?
