For an icebreaker, I do a NASA survey of most important items you would want /need if stranded on. the moon after a crash and having to a safety ship miles away...
I still use the old "accident at Jefferson high" dragnet style video. The kids love it.

Look up lab safety rap on YouTube

Hello. My district is currently remote (virtual) and I am teaching a chemical reactions unit. Usually, this is a hands on unit. I cannot do hands-on labs for equity reasons.
