Hi educators,
This may sound dumb, but my physics lecture room is our lab as well and we spend long hours in class. We spend approximately 4 hours for lecture and other activities and 2 hours for labs. Currently, I have a strict rule that only drink is allowed during lecture and other classroom activities and no food/drink allowed during lab sessions. So the question was raised by the college leadership that since this is a 'lab' room, no food/drink should be allowed even if it is a class-time. Your thoughts? Also, could you point to any lab safety instructions put out by prominent physics organizations such as American Physical Society or American Association of Physics Teachers? I have seen such instructions for chemistry labs. Thanks for any input.
