RAFTS Assignment

Maria Phillips

SC.O.2.1.07 use safe and proper techniques for handling, manipulating, and caring for science materials (e.g., follow safety rules, maintain a clean work area, or treat living organisms humanely).

We are helping some first graders with a science project in a few weeks. In order to get the first grade class ready for the project, please write them some rules of the science lab, including what to wear, how to handle equipment, and anything you think may be helpful! Be very specific and be sure to give them good advice-we will need their help on the project. Use the RAFTS strategy to help you get your thoughts straight.
