Some of these experiments require that you heat and bend objects to create different,
permanent shapes. You must wear gloves or use cloth padding to protect your hands when
performing these procedures. In addition to using gloves or padding, we suggest you wear safety
glasses or goggles when heating and bending any of the components into different shapes. Adult
supervision is advised.
