Lab safety and lab equipment are very important when you are  dealing with science. You need lab safety so you won’t get hurt or injured and lab equipment to do procedures and experiments. If there is glass on the floor you don’t want to pick it up because you’ll most likely get cut. To measure the temperature of water or any substance you’ll need lab equipment. When you are following lab safety and using the lab equipment as it’s supposed to be used, you can have a lot of fun with experiments and procedures. Otherwise if you don’t follow lab safety and don’t use the lab equipment as it’s supposed to be used dangerous occurances can happen.
