Abstract
The common problems in Indonesian science laboratory, especially chemistry is ignoring laboratory safety and health. Besides, it is important to protect students and also the environment from dangerous chemical substances and its processes. The aim of this study was to enchance prospective science teachers’ knowledge regarding laboratory safety and health through Green chemistry principles. The study used a quasi-experimental design. 38 students of basic chemistry and solution course were purposively selected from this department. Two different instruments for pre and post-test of laboratory safety and health were used to collect the data in the present study. Research findings revealed that there is an adequately increasing in future science teachers’ comprehension concerning on laboratory safety and helath. This confirmed that the present system was effective to increase the student comprehension. Based on the result, this study implies that Green Chemistry approach could be an alternative approach to practice laboratory safety and health for pre-service science teacher and prepare them not only as qualified science educators but also skilled laboratory personnels.
