I Hope My School Buys Fume Hoods

July 11th, 2009

I just got a job as a high school chemistry teacher. I know teenagers well enough to know that it is not going to be easy. I can imagine that they will goof off a lot, and not listen. And I’m worried about what they will do during the experiments. I’ve heard stories of kids mixing chemicals together when they were specifically told not to. Although I don’t think we have anything strong enough to explode, I do think some mixtures may cause hazardous fumes. Or, if nothing else, they might stink really bad. So I am going to ask my school to buy fume hoods. I hope it is within their budget, because I can not watch the kids every second. Buying this equipment may save them from damaging their health.
