Question

Case Study 1: What went good and what went bad in the lab scenario?

Jane was mixing two chemicals in a beaker. She thought she would be ok not to wear goggles. She noticed that a greenish-yellow gas was bubbling out of the liquids. She had been told to make all observations that she could, so she held the beaker close to her nose and took a good whiff.

Answer 1

The good:
•Jane was using a beaker,
•she had been told to make all observations that she could which is good because that means she was listening to the teacher
The bad:
•Jane was mixing two chemicals
• she smelled the gas

Answer 2

Nothing went well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything went badly.

1. Jennifer took off her goggles. The mixture was already bubbling. It could have suddenly spurted into her hands and face.
2. She took a good whiff of the greenish-yellow gas (chlorine?). She should have held the beaker some distance away and gently wafted some of the gas toward her nose.
