Need ideas for posters in college chemistry lab?

Question

okay, my professor is having me and another guy make some posters for our lab for extra credit. He wants us to come up with some ideas for them, then we are going to make them in Powerpoint.

We may be doing one with some techniques on them on how to do titrations, and some other things.

The other guy thought of a Do's and Dont's poster, but im not entirely sure what all we would put on that.

I will probably go through all the labs we had done earlier in the year again and try to find some things, and we may make one that shows some safety things like the fume hood, shower, eye wash exc.

Anyone have any more ideas of something that would be good for a chem lab? Its basic college chem 1 and 2.

Answer 1

Here's a do/don't: when smelling a chemical, don't just stick your nose over it, like you would smell something in everyday life. Hold the test-tube, flask, etc, away from your face, and waft some of the fumes toward your nose with your hand. Then, if it's not really nasty, you can smell some more in the normal way.

Another: When inserting a glass tube into a cork or stopper, first be sure you make the edges rounded by polishing it with a bunsen burner. Then be sure to lubricate it. Glycerine is normally used for that, though spit can be effective when the former isn't available. If you don't do these things, the tube won't go in easily, and can break and jab you. That happened to me when I was a kid. It made a pretty bad gash in my finger.

For all you pyros out there ;) : Never grind an oxidizer and fuel together. If you use the same mortar & pestle to grind the oxidizer and fuel, clean it thoroughly between grindings.

A little poem:

"Willy was a chemist.
Willy is no more.
What Willy thought was H2O
Was H2SO4."

Answer 2

How about what happens when one doesn't wear safety glasses/goggles. Holding up a test tube to one's face, saying, "Oh, don't worry, Prof! It's okay! Class is over!" POOF!

This is not a joke. Nobel-Prize-Winner Professor K. Barry Sharpless, now at Scripps Research Institute, when he was still a student at MIT, lost the sight in one eye one night when he took off his safety glasses, put on a jacket, and started home. "Hey, Barry!" a fellow student said. "Come look at this!" Sharpless went into the other lab and took a tiny capillary tube that his fellow student offered him. In the next moment, Sharpless realized that this was a tube that had been kept at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, and was now warming in the air. The pressure must be enormous. Sharpless thought to put the tube down. In that moment, the tube burst and sent a splinter of glass into Sharpless's eye.
