Good lab technique includes but is not limited to these activities:

• keeps a complete record of lab activities in a lab notebook
• prepares in advance by reading handouts and background materials
• asks questions for clarification prior to activity
• plans and organizes activity prior to starting
• uses time, space and material efficiently
• cooperates readily in group activities
• observes personal and class results carefully
• minimizes activities which interfere with others
• promptly cleans up work area and equipment
• promptly and properly disposes of used material
• reports low supplies or malfunctions in equipment
• contributes to orderly arrangement of the lab
