Being able to identify the different types of lab equipment is important when working in a lab. By being able to choose the right lab equipment, you will be one step closer to being safe while conducting an experiment, but there are lab protocols that need to be followed as well. To learn about these lab protocols, you will complete the following simulation: https://www.ncbionetwork.org/iet/labsafety/​. Please follow the instructions below. ​

​Complete the Virtual Lab: Please read the instructions below the simulation on how to proceed in the “Introduction to Lab Safety” simulation before completing the lab.

Step 1: Click anywhere on the screen.

Step 2: Type in your First Name and Last Name then push Continue.

Step 3: Click on “01: Introduction to Lab Safety”

Step 4​: Follow the instructions on the screen. Read through the information on the screen then click “Next.” If you reach a screen that says, “Launch Activity,” you need to click on the screen and complete the activity before you can move forward. If there is a question, you must answer the question before the simulation will allow you to move on.

Step 5: When Prompted, click “Print Completion Certificate.”

Step 6: Submit a picture of your certificate. I would recommend taking a screenshot of the certificate.
