VII. The Need for a Science Lab.
ASMIS is appealing for support to its plan of providing a
science laboratory for its students.
The rationale for a school science laboratory is presented
below.
Why schools must have science laboratory
equipment*
Science is different from any other subject that a student
takes up in school. This discipline unlike other courses
affects the lives of each and every person in several ways.
From the local weather to the food we eat, and from the
simple electronic devices that we use in our day to day
lives to the complex machines and systems, science is
everywhere. Science involves seeing, handling,
understanding and manipulating of real objects and
materials.
Teaching science therefore requires a different approach.
Schools have to provide opportunities to their students to
learn the various methods and processes. It is found that
educational institutes that combine classroom or textbook
teaching with science laboratory experiments are able to
derive the best results for their students. Science
laboratory equipment and experiments aid in developing
scientific learning amongst students, and in cultivating
deeper and profound interest in the field.
This is because the knowledge that one attains in
classrooms and through books is ineffectual without
understanding and learning the methods and processes
behind the same. Science laboratory equipment allows
students to utilize the data gathered from the books, as
well from the material world, for developing pragmatic
logic and rationale. Students are made to use the various
tools and experiment with different techniques to improve
their overall science literacy.
Besides offering the hands-on experience, science
laboratory equipment teaches students how to make a
scientific argument. Conducting experiments, reviewing
them closely, developing logical reasoning, and responding
to analytical comments, are some of the valuable skills
that help in preparing the next generation of scientists,
engineers, and medical professionals.
School science lab supplies play an important role in the
advances and technologies being made in the world. Many
of the world famous scientists and researchers develop
their life long interest in science in their school science lab
only where they conduct their first science lab
experiments. Schools must therefore invest in up-to-date
and highly advanced science laboratory equipment so as
to give birth to highly skilled and competent scientific and
technological labor force and to assure the country of a
great future in the field of medical sciences and
technological developments.
