INTRODUCTION

The emphasis on science teaching and promotion of

scientific knowledge has projected the need of laboratories for

practical work and experiments. Laboratories provide help in making

activity dominated teaching more successful. Through laboratory

work adequate interest is created in the subject of study concerned

and this is very useful for effective teaching.

In secondary schools where the subjects of physics,

chemistry and biology are taught, it is necessary to provide adequate

laboratory facilities. In addition to a big room where experiments are

performed, a lecture hall and a store room should also provide. The

size of these rooms should be determined according to the number

of work for each student. There should be proper arrangements for

ventilation and light .The arrangements of doors and windows and ofartificial light should be adequate so that students do not have any

difficulty in reading, writing and working. Learning of science involves

seeing, handling and manipulating real object and materials.

The importance of advanced science lab

equipments in school labs

It is imperative for schools to have the latest and high

quality science lab supplies these days. Science is different from any

other subjects. In order to understand its concepts, one lies to look

beyond the books and conventional classroom teaching. Effective

teaching and learning of science involves seeing, handling and

manipulating real objects and materials. The knowledge that kinds

attain in classroom would be ineffectual unless they actually observe

the process and understand the relationship between action and

reaction.

Effective teaching and learning of science involves a

perpetual state of show and tell. Good school combine classroom

teaching with laboratory experiments to ensure that their students

grasp each and every concept thoroughly. It is also believed that

laboratory teaching and experiments that are being conducted these

help encourage deep understanding in children. Children are able to

retain the knowledge for longer when they see the experimentsbeing performed in front of their eyes.

Science lab equipment allows students to interact directly

with the data gathered. They get a first hand learning experience by

performing various experiments on their own. Students are made to

use the models and understand different scientific theories and

concepts. It is also found that school science lab equipment andsupplies make teaching and learning easy both for the teachers, as

well as for the students. There are several scientific theories and

concepts that are difficult to explain directly from the books.

Anatomy models, physics science kits and chemistry science kits for

instance make it easy to understand the otherwise complex theories

of sciences.

By virtues of equipping themselves with the latest and the

advanced materials and supplies, schools are able to contribute a lot

in the scientific advances yet to come. The advance and

developments in the field of medical science and technology would

not take place if schools did not prepare brilliant and dedicated

scientists and researchers. Children develop interest in scientific

research in science labs. When they observe various things and carry

out different experiments, their reasoning skills are honed and they

start thinking deeply on those theories and concepts. Schools thus

play a vital role in bringing up the next generation of engineers and

concepts.

School must have the latest science lab supplies and

equipment to make science interesting and effective for students

and to encourage them to make significant contributions in the field

of physics, biology, chemistry and other streams of science later in

life.

IMPORTANCE OF LABORATORY

Engage students in open-ended investigative processes, using

scientific problem solving Provide application of information students have heard and

seen in lecture, there by reinforcing and clarifying scientific

principles and concepts.

Involve multiple senses in three dimensional than two

dimensional learning experiences important for greater

retention of concepts and for accommodation of different

learning styles.

Stimulate students to understand the nature of science

including its unpredictability and complexity.

Provide opportunities to engage in collaborative work and to

model scientific attitudes and behaviour.

Develop mastery of techniques and skills needed for potential

science, engineering, and technology major. Develops scientific attitudes.

Promotes curiosity in science leading to scientific interest.

Develops skill in handling scientific apparatus.

Provides training in scientific methods.

Provides firsthand experience in science.

It makes science learning more concrete.

It makes science learning interesting.

It initiates experimentation and self study.

It helps to save time, energy and resources.

It ensures diversity in teaching.

NEEDS OF LABORATORY


7/13

Practical aspects of lessons and effective problem solving

activity in biology, improves skill acquisition of students thus

influencing high skill achievement levels of students. The study

was carried out because of need to enhance the teaching andlearning of biology in our secondary schools. It is found that all

students are interested in doing science experiments the school

has separate laboratory for science subject and they have

separate laboratory proceeds the school provide all the

necessary specimens for doing science experiments and there

is enough requirements.

SCIENCE

Science is not just taught but experienced practically in our

school which has facility of three laboratories career to

scientific curiosity of each and every child from standard five to

standard ten.

PHYSICS:

It is well lit with wide windows and has an arrangement of

tables with high tools. It is well equipped with all upgraded

instruments and devices required for all physics experiments.

The laboratory gives a firsthand experience of handling the

electrical devices and other instruments

EQUIPMENTS FOR A PHYSICS LABORATORY:

Tables for experiment. The upper surface should be broad and

it should have drawers, cupboard and shelves in it.

Proper arrangement of gas, gas burners and spirit lamps.

Wall almirahs and cupboards for keeping apparatus safely.


8/13

Fixed tables, preferably of stone, along the wall for keeping

physical balance in a manner that student can work on them

easily.

Apparatus and material related to different experiments.

Proper arrangement of water-sink and tap


9/13

CHEMISTRY:

The laboratory is a magical experience for all the students .They

students are allowed to perform self experiments under the

supervision of the teachers and the lab assiant.The remaining

experiments are demonstrated by the teachers. To get

independently under the guidance of their able science teachers. The

laboratory is well equipped with all the necessary chemical and

apparatus.

EQUIPMENTS FOR A CHEMISTRY LABORTORTY:

Tables for keeping equipments, there should be ample

arrangement for drawers, gas, gas burners, water tapes and

sinks attached to every table.

Arrangement for fresh air. Since the experiments in this

laboratory create all kinds of gases, arrangement should bemade to provide sufficient number of doors, windows,

ventilators and an exhaust fan in it.

Glass cases for keeping chemical balances. These should be so

arranged that it should be easy to work on them.

Acid proof arrangement for drainage of water is essential.

Adequate provision of wall cupboards and almirahs for keeping

chemicals and apparatus.

Arrangement for preparing distilled water.

Apparatus and material for different experiments.

Adequate number of microscope. Not more than two students

will have to work on one microscope at a time.


10/13

BIOLOGY

It is a place of awe and wonder for all the students. Theyexperience the different plant and animal specimens which are well

preserved. They observe and prepare temporary slides themselves

and view them under the microscopes .The students also handle

many models of various human body system.

EQUIPMENTS FOR A BIOLOGY LABORATORY:

Tables for experiments in these water taps, drawers and shelves

should be provided.

Specimens of different creatures, charts, models and slides

showing their life cycle.

Instruments for dissecting and handling of creatures and

plants(trays, troughs etc also to be provided)

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LABS

1.Research labs:

Focus on a question or series of question related to

a specific topic or area of interest.

2.

Core labs:While some of the work in these labs may be

dedicated to new research,

Much of it supports the research of others using specific

types of assay or in an area of expertise

3.Clinical labs

The majority of work in these labs supports patient

care.

CONCLUSION

The knowledge gained from science courses with a strong laboratory

component enables students to understand in more practical and

concrete ways their own physical make up, the functioning of

The natural world around them, environment al issues etc .It is onlyby maintain hand on lab experience that the brightest and most

promising potential science majors will be stimulated and not turned

off by lecture only approaches to science. These lab courses may

offer many students their only opportunity to experience a science

laboratory environment. These same students as potential voters,

parents, teachers, legislatorsdevelopers and land use planners

benefit from a well-rounded educational experience, including

laboratory experience.

It is imperative for schools to have the latest and high

quality science lab supplies these days science is totally different

from other subjects. Its concept is beyond the classroom teaching. So

science lab allows students to interact directly with the data

gathered and they understand the concept and theories byperforming various experiments on their own. To conclude schools

musthave the latest science lab supplies and equipments to make

science interesting and effective for students and to encourage the

field at physics, chemistry, biology and other streams of science lates

in life.
