Inorganic Lab Level 1

Explore level 1 of a bad inorganic Lab. Try to identify as many hazards as you can within the scene. The knowledge you gain here will help you pass the final level!

After proceeding through the scene (4 images here), navigate to the hints. The hints highlight some of the problem areas, but not necessarily all of them, with numbered blue dots. The numbers correspond to the list of hints below.

Note, Health and safety errors have been deliberately introduced into the scenarios for educational purposes. We do not condone bad lab practice, but allowing students to see such scenarios can help develop hazard perception skills. Best practice may differ in your institution, please discuss this with a local instructor.
