Many resources currently exist to assist secondary teachers in teaching and implementing lab safety in their classrooms.  This session will focus on the exploration of safety resources offered by the American Chemical Society and the American Association of Chemistry Teachers and give teachers ideas on how to use them in the classroom. We will discuss the updated guidelines for teaching chemistry and the RAMP safety guidelines endorsed by ACS.  Other topics will include lab clean up, common disposal concerns, SDS information, and a variety of activities from ChemMatters and Chemistry Solutions to help teachers communicate and engage students in lab safety.  Handouts and links will be provided for immediate classroom use and we will demonstrate the games and activities suggested in small groups.
