Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
In this engaging chemistry tutorial, students will dive into the world of household hazardous materials, uncovering the hidden risks in everyday products. We’ll explore what makes certain chemicals hazardous and how to read the labels that warn us of potential dangers. By understanding how to handle and dispose of these materials properly, you'll protect yourself, your family, and the environment.

We'll focus on key concepts from the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, ensuring you can identify the dangers in your cleaning closet or garage.
