Lab Safety and Equipment Writing Task Cards

It is important to promote writing across the disciplines. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with writing prompts. These task cards are specific to secondary science and they cover lab safety and equipment. There are writing prompts for the lab safety procedures, equipment, MSDS, NFPA, behavior and dress. I have included the prompts in the power point format and pdf file format so you can choose which file you would like to use. By adjusting the page settings during printing you can print 6 or more / less prompts per page. This activity can be used as a bell ringer, pop quiz or closing. It is a good exercise to make the brief students write longer and the novel writers write shorter answers. There are 30 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can edit the power point file to adjust the sentence requirements.
