Wrap Up Inquiry Lessons With a Lab Safety Reflection Sheet

Help upper primary students close their science investigations thoughtfully with this Lab Safety Reflection Sheet. 

After completing a hands-on activity, you can use this Lab Safety Reflection Sheet to help your students reflect on their behaviours in the science lab, identifying what safety rules they followed, which rules might have been broken, and what could be improved in future science lab activities. It’s the perfect way to close out an inquiry session and promote lab safety at the same time!

Reflect on Good and Bad Lab Safety Behaviours

This Lab Safety Reflection worksheet encourages students to think critically about:

• Safe and unsafe behaviours during science experiments
• How following the rules helps prevent accidents
• Steps to improve safety in future investigations
• The importance of being responsible in the lab

It’s a perfect tool for promoting self-awareness, student responsibility, and discussion around lab safety rules and procedures in years 4–6.
