Abstract	This column shares safety information for the classroom. STEAM subjects--science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics--are essential for fostering students' 21st-century skills. STEAM promotes critical-thinking skills, including analysis, assessment, categorization, classification, interpretation, justification, and prediction, and are enhanced through the integration of subjects. At the elementary level, teachers have inherently integrated STEAM, compared to their secondary-level counterparts. However, with this approach comes an even greater need for attention to safety, given the many hazards that could arise through teaching these subjects. Teachers are required to perform hazard analyses and risk assessments prior to performing any STEAM demonstration or investigation. This article presents the suggested approach for addressing safety issues prior to performing a demonstration or conducting an activity: (1) Analysis; (2) Assessment; and (3) Action. (ERIC).
