Every inventor needs a workspace! And every workspace needs safety rules. Let's set one up.
Clear Space

Safety Gear
Step two: Safety Gear. Wear safety goggles when cutting or hammering. Let grown-ups handle knives, hot tools, power tools, and anything electrical from the wall.
Good Habits
Step three: Good Habits. Keep batteries and magnets away from small children and pets. Wash your hands after working, and tidy up when you finish.
A Closer Look
Let's take a closer look! Protect your eyes. Grown-ups use hot tools. Keep batteries safe. Clean up after.
Quick Facts
Quick facts! Many labs have a rule: no food or drink at the workbench. Goggles protect eyes. Tidy up after. Keep pets away.
Think Like a Scientist
Now, think like a scientist! Make a poster of five rules for your workspace. Include goggles and grown-up tools. Add pictures for each rule. Hang it on the wall. Read it before every project!
