What if you chose not to? Would you be refused to take part in the practical and just simply sit and watch?

Only for Chemistry. In the actual exam, you could lose marks for not wearing a lab coat or for wearing flip-flops :rolleyes:

Goggles + lab coat.
Always in Chemistry (there's a few pretty mad reactions demonstrated). In Biology only while doing microbiology. Never in Physics.

Yeah, an ex-friend of mine was told by the teacher he lost a health and safety mark for wearing flip flops (I guess you could pour acid on your feet or something?) :s-smilie:

No, I feel the risk of ruining clothes makes it more interesting and makes you more careful.

Harsh, your teacher should of told you all the wear appropriate shoes or something cause I wouldn't know that haha. Our teachers are very friendly with us in chemistry :smile:

Well..physics experiments aren't particularly dangerous to the clothes...
If there is a radioactive experiment ever to take place, I'm sure we'll need more than lab coats :yep:

As a lot of people have said, always for Chemistry and usually for Biology. Ours at school are royal blue too :smile:

Is it not just easier to put one on? :confused:

We always wear them + safety goggles even for little experiments, it's really not much effort!

Chemistry, yes, we had to wear labcoats and goggles.
Biology we don't usually wear anything, and if we do just a plastic apron. Then again we aren't usually playing with nasty chemicals in biology :p:
