Also, Dr. Finster's final sentence is key: K-12 students (especially grades 6-10) sometimes use excruciatingly poor judgement in laboratory situations, even with all the safety training a schedule will allow. Add to that fact that from a school administrator point of view, science needs are far too often considered to be equivalent to math, social studies, or English needs ??books, some manipulatives. The person doing the scheduling is rarely if ever a science person.
