You should follow the activities, instructions and warnings on this website or in Double Helix magazine carefully to make sure you don’t injure yourself.

Make sure that an adult supervises any activity where the instructions say so, and that you use all ingredients and tools in accordance with the instructions.

Some activities might involve dangerous substances. Do not allow those dangerous substances to touch you, particularly your eyes and mouth.

Adults, please exercise judgment to ensure activities are age appropriate and adequately supervised.
