We will spend most of every day in the lab - because of safety this means there are some requirements for dress. These are going to be long, active days, please be sure that students have breakfast and lunch.
- Shoes that enclose the feet (NO sandals, flipflops or clogs)
- Knee-length skirts, shorts, etc.
- Shirts that can be tucked in, with sleeves that are either tight to the wrist or do not come below the elbow
- Some way to tie back long hair (so it cannot fall forward over the shoulders)
We will have available the following:
- Lab coats
- Lab gloves
- Protective eyewear
- Notebooks and pens - but students must remember to bring them back if they take them home.
