Biology: Look closely at
the world around you! Using microscopes, look at real
structures - UGLY! |
- Cuts, bumps, scrapes from dropping or slipping tools.
|
- Wash your hands after experiments; don’t drink solutions;
tell the instructor if you break a microscope slide
and stay away from moving robot parts.
- Wear safety glasses.
|
|
Hydro Rockets: At SLAC we
look at tiny sub atomic particles. We send our detectors into space on
rockets - HAVE A BLAST! |
- Plastic bottle under pressure could
rupture.
- Getting hit by a rocket.
|
- Stand back while bottle is
pressurized and launched; pay attention and DO NOT
TRY TO CATCH IT!
- Wear safety glasses.
- Place signage and cones on lawn around north
and east perimeter.

Mechanics: Build your own acrylic piggy
bank; working
with a mechanical technician assemble your very own
piggy bank – COOL!
|
- Cuts, bumps, or scrapes from dropping or slipping tools
or sharp edges of parts.
|
- Wear safety glasses.
- Use clamps and keep your hands away from moving parts.
- Pull hair back.
- Wear safety glasses.
|
|
Radiation: You will use different
radiation detection instruments to find different types
of sources and radioactive materials that are common.
Suit-up, you will find hidden radiation sources – GET
HOT! |
- Radiation (very small amounts – a fraction
of what would be received from a medical x-ray).
|
- Listen to your instructor.
- Leave
everything where you found it.
