      I don’t think anyone dies at school from doing science experiments! That would be really bad for schools and science. I have heard of some case of burnt eyebrows though.

      I think it’s very, very, very rare that a student dies due to a school experiment! I’ve never heard of it happening in the modern age.

      Never heard of death due to scientific experiments performed in school but if you do not follow the set protocol by the science teacher in school you can end up injuring yourself badly. So pay attention to the safety protocols in the labs and follow the rules of the lab.
