Skyview's Science 7's Safety Module is the foundation for the Skyview's school wide science safety program. To function safely, all students must be able to demonstrate that they can understand and apply laboratory safety rules and procedures, and also locate and use safety equipment properly.

Upon passing the academic assessment all students and their parents are Required to sign a Safety Contract before they are able to work in the lab.

Afterwards, students engage in the second phase of the module, the practical laboratory skill labs and investigations. These labs and investigations build on the student's theoretical knowledge. For example they might do Flame testing of chemicals, make glass stirring rods, do volume, mass, and length explorations, and complete the Boiling Water Labs. At this point we believe our students have the basic foundation in safety to safely learn and carry out the more specialized techniques required in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grade science classes.
