SED324: School Science Laboratory

Science has changed over the past years and so laboratories must change! As a science teacher, you are used to having your students take part in laboratory activities. Have you noticed differences in design and organization as you move from one laboratory to another? Several teachers had found some of these laboratories to be inadequate in terms of design, space, technicians, apparatus materials chemicals and use of computer. But experimentation is very vital for the growth of science and it is impossible to teach science without practical works in a conducive atmosphere.

What Will You Learn?

As a post-graduate student in this course, it is assumed that you must have been exposed to working in a science laboratory. So the overall aim of SED 324 (Laboratory Design and Management) is to introduce you to some of the tradition laboratory design and organisation you are used to, the modern designed organization, and management procedures in the laboratory. Should you be in a position to propose a new science laboratory or improvement on an existing structure of science laboratory, this course comes handy.
