Laboratory teaching assumes that first-hand experience in observation and manipulation of the materials of science is superior to other methods of developing understanding and appreciation. Laboratory training is also frequently used to develop skills necessary for more advanced study or research.
We introduce you to laboratories that are available for students, and not only.
We believe there are five groups 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, taxonomic category
3) cognitive abilities - critical thinking, problem solving, application, analysis, synthesis
4) understanding 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
