Lab safety, myPLTW, and how to submit
Mon, Jan 25, 2027 · Week 2 · Biotechnology for Health (Biomedical Innovations)
Today's goal: Pass a lab-safety check and sign the safety contract, tour the myPLTW web portal, and learn exactly how to submit each kind of work.
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
Eyewash station: back left sink. Fire blanket: by the door. SDS binder: shelf under the fume hood.
From the SDS, the storage rule I recorded: store in a cool, ventilated cabinet away from acids.
PPE I will wear: goggles, gloves, and an apron.
This model shows the level of evidence and organization needed to complete: Completes the safety SOP check: the student locates safety equipment and reads the handling information on an SDS before any lab.
- Identify the purpose, hazards, and required controls.
- Write the procedure in a usable order.
- Confirm materials, measurements, and waste handling before starting.
Keep the structure. Replace the question, facts, measurements, and evidence. Then recheck units, vocabulary, and whether the conclusion goes beyond the evidence.
Turn in: Lab-safety check: signed safety contract, completed safety scavenger hunt, and course-access check (login screenshot if available, or a note that access is unavailable).
Go to Schoology to turn this in.
Submit one PDF. Schoology attaches your name to your upload; on the page itself, write your period and code. Name the file: FirstName LastName - Assignment Title - YYYY-MM-DD.pdf.

Claim ceiling: This original written preparation cannot authorize handling materials, pass the actual safety check, provide a chemical-specific procedure or complete signatures, official activities or submissions.
One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.
Tap an answer to see the full explanation. Nothing is recorded or graded.
It builds this reusable test skill: locating and applying lab safety information.
- Name the concept or data pattern being tested.
- Cross out choices that violate that rule or the evidence.
- Justify the best remaining choice before checking the answer.
