EXPERIMENT

LABORATORY EXPERIMENT:
a set of procedures carried out by the students
using the laboratory equipment and material
besides data recording to obtain information under
the supervision of the teacher of the subject.

SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS

MANIPULATIVE SKILLS
Manipulative skills in scientific investigation are psychomotor skills that
enable students to:
use and handle science apparatus and laboratory substances
correctly.
handle specimens correctly and carefully.
draw specimens, apparatus and laboratory
substances accurately.
clean science apparatus correctly, and
store science apparatus and laboratory substances correctly and
safely.

LAB BASED
TEACHING
STRATEGIES

Set for the Goals

Develop intuition and deepen understanding
of concepts.
Apply concepts learned in class to new
situations.
Experience basic phenomena.
Develop critical, quantitative thinking.
Develop experimental and data analysis
skills.
Learn to use scientific apparatus.
Develop reporting skills (written and oral).

Preparing Lab Section

Preparation should include :
lab equipment and materials
First aids
Rules and regulations
Procedures for getting emergency
assistance

What Makes for Great Lab

Instructor?
Being a great teacher and great manager.
Always seeking to make experiments and practical
problems relevant.
Spend time early in the semester preparing their
students to work in groups. Assign them to work
within specified roles.
Offer just enough help, forcing students to solve
problems on their own.
Always alert for potential problems. Always
address safety issues before letting students to do
the experiments.
Provide specific clear instructions.

Asking and Answering Questions

Asking question
watch out for students who look like they're
coping well but are really putting on a show.

Answering question
- Explore together with the students by
encouraging them to find out the answer
first and discuss it with them later.

Managing Laboratory Section

Preparation should include :
Encourages students to develop a spirit of
inquiry.
Allows them to live as practicing scientist.

Assessment of students in the lab
can be done
Formally or informally

LABORATORY
SAFETY

Tip #1: Ask yourself, "What am I working with?

What are the hazards?"
If there is an accident or emergency situation
involving hazardous substances:
Seek immediate assistance. If you are splashed by
any of these materials, use running water from an
eyewash station or emergency shower for at least
15 minutes or until emergency assistance arrives
and provides you with different instructions.
Report to your supervisor any accident, injury, or
uncontrolled release of potentially hazardous
materials.

Tip #2: Be prepared.

Read all procedures and associated
safety information prior to the start of an
experiment.
Perform only those experiments
authorized by your supervisor.
Follow all written and verbal instructions.
Know the locations and operating
procedures for all safety equipment.

Know the locations of the nearest fire alarms and

at least two ways out of the building. Never use an
elevator in emergencies.
Be alert and proceed with caution at all times in
the laboratory. Immediately notify the supervisor of
any unsafe conditions.
Know the proper emergency response
procedures for accidents or injuries in the
laboratory

Tip #3:
Prevent
potential
exposure. and
Conduct
yourself
in a responsible
professional manner at all times. No pranks.
No practical jokes.
Dress for work in the laboratory. Wear
clothing and shoes that cover exposed skin
and protect you from potential splashes. Tie
back long hair, jewelry, or anything that may
catch in equipment.
Never eat food, drink beverages or handle
contact lenses in the laboratory.

Use a chemical fume hood or biosafety

cabinet, as directed by your supervisor.
Report damaged electrical equipment to the
supervisor. Do not use damaged electrical
equipment.
Do not leave active experiments unattended.
Never leave anything that is being heated or
is visibly reacting unattended.

Tip #4: Protect yourself, others and the

Practice good personal hygiene. Wash your hands after
environment.
removing gloves, before leaving the laboratory, and after
handling a potentially hazardous material.
While working in the laboratory, wear personal protective
equipment - eye protection, gloves, laboratory coat - as
directed by your supervisor.
Properly segregate and dispose of all laboratory waste.

ACS Guidelines & recommendations for the teaching

of high school Chemistry
by American Chemical Society

The chemistry laboratory represents an opportunity for making the

connection between the unseen microscopic world and the observable
macroscopic world in which we live.

Laboratory experiences provide opportunities for team building, inquirybased learning, hands-on activities, and exposure to standard laboratory
equipment and technology.

The identification, manipulation, and general use of laboratory equipment

are integral parts of the subject of chemistry.

Instruction that is student-centered and emphasizes the role of laboratory

demonstrations and experiments is the best method to ensure that
students develop these essential skills in science.

 Laboratory exercises should come in three phases:

the pre-lab, the lab procedure, and the post-lab.
In the pre-lab, students consider the concept or
principle to be investigated. They predict and
hypothesize
In the lab experience, students learn to plan their
actions, and to identify and control variables; they
observe, measure, classify, and record.
The post-lab challenges students to analyse and
interpret data, evaluate the effectiveness of the
procedure, formulate models, and communicate their
findings in written and oral formats.
In the post-lab, students can also relate or compare
the results and concepts to known phenomena.

Second Handbook of Research on Teaching

by Shulman and Tamir
Five types of objectives that may be achieved through the use of the
laboratory in science classes:

1.Skills - manipulative, inquiry, investigative, organizational,

communicative

2.Concepts - for example, hypothesis, theoretical model

3.Cognitive abilities - critical thinking, problem solving, application,
analysis, synthesis

4.Understanding of the nature of science- scientific enterprise,

scientists and how they work, existence of a multiplicity of scientific
methods, interrelationships between science and technology and among
the various disciplines of science

5.Attitudes - for example, curiosity, interest, risk taking, objectivity,

precision, confidence, perseverance, satisfaction, responsibility,
consensus, collaboration, and liking science
