3 Students in Davao de Oro Suffered Injuries While Conducting Science Experiment at School
The police authorities reported that at least three students in Monkayo, Davao de Oro have suffered injuries during a science experiment.
Monkayo Police reported that three Grade 7 students from Awao National High School suffered injuries while conducting an experiment on their science subject. The incident happened at the Science Laboratory located on the second floor of the school.
The authorities said that the teacher instructed the students to conduct an experiment on separating components of salt-water solution through evaporation. The teachers used baker cups, ethyl alcohol, cotton, alcohol stove, and a wire gauge during the activity.
“While on the process of experimentation, the students gathered around the table. The teacher refilled the stove with ethyl alcohol which caused (fire),” the police said.
The victims have been rushed to Davao De Oro Provincial Hospital-Montevista for immediate medical treatment after sustaining burns in several parts of their bodies. Two students have been already released while the other one has been referred to the Southern Philippine Medical Center in Davao City.
DepEd spokesperson Michael Poa explained that the agency has been already checking the incident.
“I do not have the complete picture, information about that right now pero pinapa-check na po natin ‘yan sa field offices kung ano po ‘yung nangyari sa science experiment po na ‘yan,” Poa said.
