Risk Assessment for the Science Experiment scene




This is my risk assessment for the Science Experiment scene. The severity and the occurrence levels aid which risk we must approach first. Going from preventing the 'high risk' to 'medium risk' to 'low risk' respectively. This improves the health and safety considerably. All risks can affect everyone in the room, hence having to aim to prevent any risk to health. In some cases we can't approach the normal ways to prevent a risk:

For example, we wouldn't put a 'Wet Floor' sign up, as it can affect the quality of the production, resulting in our grade being lowered. To resolve this issue we have different procedures in handling the risk safely. 

Having the supervision of the teacher will also help us conduct a safe experiment, mainly because she can offer us guidance if any dangers have been missed. Also, we have substituted very dangerous chemicals with water/vinegar and food colouring which greatly lowers the danger in health and safety.

Science Experiments



This image shows some examples of the different colours and different reactions taken place. Using this image, the amount of fizz is directly proportionate to the amount of vinegar. Concluding that, the more vinegar + bicarbonate soda = a bigger reaction (more fizz). We shall be using the same amount of ingredients for the red experiment - not too much/too less fizz. Also the shape of the glass is different to the test tube, so may have to alter the amounts slightly.





These are the ingredients I will be using to create different colours and fizz, for the science experiment.

The Experiment scene


We have been able to use a science lab at school (the recce shots will be blogged later), and I have been researching different experiments for the crazy scientist to do...








These are different ways we will create the experiment. It will help us know how to: fizz, change colour and make our video look more thrilling for the audience. They won't to be the same scale obviously, but the ideas are key to creating a crazy experiment.
