Patrick lit the Bunsen burner and used tongs to hold the test tube over the flame. He forgot to move his notebook away from the flame and almost caught it on fire. Before they could do another experiment, the bell rang and they rushed to put everything away. Since they didn’t have much time, Patrick didn’t clean out his test tube before putting it in the cabinet. SpongeBob noticed that he had a small cut on his finger, but decided he didn’t have time to tell the teacher about it. Since they were late, they skipped washing their hands and hurried to the next class.

Question

tell me what they did wrong in 3 sentences

Answer 1

Patrick made the mistake of not moving his notebook away from the flame, which could have caused a fire hazard. He also neglected to clean out his test tube before putting it away, potentially contaminating the cabinet. SpongeBob made a poor decision by not informing the teacher about his small cut, which could pose a safety risk in a lab setting. Moreover, both of them skipped washing their hands, failing to adhere to proper hygiene practices.
