2. Laboratory Teaching Methods
This methods is one of the important
methods of teaching science and it
forms an integral part of effective
science teaching. Under this methods ,
teachers encourages the students to
derive various scientific laws and
principle on their own by getting
personally involved in the experiment
work.

3. 2 Major Types
a. Situation where students work in the laboratory-
in this situation student’s work informally in pairs
or groups where equipment cannot go round all
students individually.
b. Demonstration- is a process of presenting or
establishing facts or principles. It is a procedure of doing
or performing something in the presence of others or
either as a means of showing them how to do it or
illustrating a principle.

4. MAJOR GOALS OF
LABORATORY. WORKS
♦ Teaching Manuals and Observational skills
relevant to the subject
♦ Improving understanding of methods of
scientific inquiry
♦ Developing problem solving and doing by
self skills.

5. CORRECT METHODS OF TEACHING IN
LABORATORY
1. Self Preparation
2. Right Explanation
3. Starting Experiments
4. Handling instruments
5. Explaining observations
6. Writing reports
7. Lab safety

6. Advantages
1. Students learn by doing and come in
contact with raw data or materials object
in teaching learning process.
2. Develops the power of observation and
reasoning.
3.Develops the scientific attitudes

7. 4. Gives an understanding of what research
is and how to apply the scientific method of
research
5. Gives training in organizing data
gathered from real materials object and
how these objects are manipulated to attain
the objectives.
6. Since students come in contact with real
life situations, it can be a preparation for
solving real life problems.

8. Disadvantages
1. Uneconomical way of learning in time
and material.
2. Does give much training in verbal
expression and when the time equipment is
used, most of the time, its use becomes
mechanical, i.e used without much thinking
anymore

9. SOME LABORATORY TEACHING
METHODS
♦ Students learn by their own efforts.
♦ Demonstration methods
♦ Slide Booklets show process, complex
procedure, and complicated apparatus
♦ Tape booklets, methods of calculation
♦ Wall Charts
♦ Video Recording
♦ Computer Simulate

10. LAB SAFETY TIPS
♦ Think safety first
♦ Know emergency responses
♦ Know what your working with
♦ Use the smallest possible amounts
♦ Follow all safety procedures
♦ Report dangerous activity or situatons
♦ Store and handle hazardous materials safety
♦ If you don’t know ASK!
