Term 1 Reflection

Today, I am going to talk about what I have learnt in term 1 science.

It was my first term learning science in secondary school and the first few lessons were mostly about the science lab's equipment. We were taught and introduced to safety precautions and lab equipment. The first experiment we did was an experiment which needed a bunsen burner. Our teacher then told us that we needed to wear safety goggles when burning something and also to close the air hole of the bunsen burner when we were lighting it to prevent a "strike back", which happened to a few of my friends. Luckily, they were not injured.

Another lab lesson, we were told to observe the science lab and draw a rough sketch of it. I felt that this was useful as we should know the surroundings and where all the equipment are kept in a lab that we were going to use for at least one year.

This is a picture of our lab:

Thats all for now.
Bye.
