Answer 2

A science lab has chemicals am I correct?

Answer 3

they are not allowed because they create a mess that teacher does not want to clean is why

Answer 4

chemicals enter your body by aborbtion (the skin), by ingestion, and through contact with the eyes.  If you are drinking or eating, you are more likely to ingest the chemicals....it is also bad to put on makeup, chew gum, or wear contact lenses in a lab for the same reason

Answer 5

do you know what kind of stuff in in a science room? chemicals, germs, fungus, dissections of dead animals, weird gasses and God knows what being made as projects? do you really want your food mixed with that?

Answer 6

you might get your food  mixed up with the lab ones...thats why no food or drink in the lab. please...
