Warm Ups
While heating a test tube that contains a boiling liquid, the contents of the test tube explode out of the test tube into the face of a student walking by the lab table. Injured student has on an apron and chemical splash goggles. The teacher had given specific safety warnings about how to heat the test tube by moving it gently through the flame and the appropriate PPE for the lab.

A student goes into the lab prep room to find a thermometer. He / she finds one that contains mercury. As
the student is walking back to the lab table, he / she accidentally hits the thermometer bulb on the corner of the lab table. The mercury falls to the floor, breaking into hundreds of little balls. Students are fascinated with the liquid. They begin pushing the beads back together and then separating them again and again. 1) Explain how the incident could have been prevented 2) Explain how you should respond to the emergency.
