Upcoming Free NSTA Webinar: Lab Safety for Elementary Science

I’m pleased to invite you to an upcoming free NSTA webinar that Kevin Doyle will be hosting with Dr. Ken Roy, one of the nation’s most respected voices in science and laboratory safety.

Lab Safety Considerations for Pre-Service and In-Service Elementary Science
 Hosted through the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA)

Elementary science instruction presents unique safety challenges—often in classrooms that were never designed as laboratories and with educators who may not have formal safety training. This session will focus on practical, developmentally appropriate strategies to help educators meet their duty of care while still fostering curiosity, inquiry, and hands-on learning.

Participants will explore:

• Common safety risks in elementary science classrooms

• Legal and ethical responsibilities of educators and administrators

• Best practices for safer demonstrations and hands-on activities

• Proactive steps schools can take to build a culture of safety from the earliest grades

Whether you are a classroom teacher, instructional coach, supervisor, administrator, or preparing future educators, this webinar will provide clear guidance you can apply immediately.
