Labs – Physics/Chemistry/Biology

Junior science labs offer hands-on experiences for classes VI to VIII that enhance
understanding and interest in science. Benefits include fostering curiosity, promoting
critical thinking, and developing practical skills.
Laboratory personnel examine and analyze body fluids, and cells. They look for bacteria,
parasites, and other microorganisms; analyze the chemical contents of fluids; match blood
for transfusions; and test for drug levels in the blood that show how a patient is responding
to treatment.
In labs, students work in small teams as they practice and develop procedural skills
necessary to explore a phenomenon, conduct experiments, write code, collect data,
design and test a prototype, etc. Labs can teach students the specific skills necessary to
conduct and interpret specific types of experiments.
