This paper attempts to construct a useful laboratory for the chemistry class of a high school in Tanzania.
The overall safety profile of schools would be greatly improved if the chemistry laboratory, preparation room and chemical stores area were properly designed in the first place. Many schools are now in the process of renovating or building new chemistry labs.
A laboratory is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed. Laboratory services are provided in a variety of settings physicians’ offices, clinics, hospitals, and regional and national referral centers.
School science lab supplies play an important role in the advances and technologies being made in the world. Today, high school science education aims to provide scientific literacy for all as part of a liberal education and to prepare students for further study, work, and citizenship. As the goals of Tanzania educational policy is to provide young scientists, promoting of science subjects and using of the schools’ laboratories can stand as a powerful tool to build up the minds’ sets of our students to scientific universe.
INTRODUCTION
The overall safety profile of our schools would be greatly improved if the chemistry laboratory, preparation room and chemical stores area were properly designed in the first place. Many schools are now in the process of renovating or building new chemistry labs.
A laboratory is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed. Laboratory services are provided in a variety of settings physicians’ offices, clinics, hospitals, and regional and national referral centers.
School science lab supplies play an important role in the advances and technologies being made in the world. Today, high school science education aims to provide scientific literacy for all as part of a liberal education and to prepare students for further study, work, and citizenship. As the goals of Tanzania educational policy is to provide young scientists, promoting of science subjects and using of the schools’ laboratories can stand as a powerful tool to build up the minds’ sets of our students to scientific universe.
BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM
Our school is accompanied with a hall which is used as class but due to the absence of laboratory room in our school, this hall used by science students (chemistry students) to conduct different chemistry experiments. But this experiment is conducted in environmental that is not good for the health for the student and teachers also the real and precise data are not obtained since the hall was not built as laboratory room. As chemistry teachers we want to design and renovate this hall to be modern chemistry laboratory.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR CONSTRUCTING MODERN CHEMISTRY LABORATORY
The main goals and objectives of constructing and renovating a hall to be modern chemistry laboratory are:
- To enhance mastery of chemistry subject matter.
- To increase understanding of the complexity of real work on chemistry.
- To develop practical skills and to increase understanding of the nature of science by allowing student to use this modern laboratory performing different science research.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
This project will have a lot of significances upon completion of it in terms of outcome and output:
Output: The output of this project will be the modern chemistry laboratory which is equipped with all necessary and environmental condition better for the practical activities.
Outcome : among the outcome of this project is to;
- Provide competent students in natural science especially chemistry
- Solve the health problem for the student and teachers which may be obtained when they conduct experiment in harsh condition.
SCOPE AND LABOLATORY PLANNING AND DESIGNING
The primary objective in laboratory design and renovation should be to provide a safe, accessible environment for laboratory personnel to conduct their work. A secondary objective is to allow for maximum flexibility for safe research and teaching use. Therefore, health and safety hazards shall be anticipated and carefully evaluated so that protective measures can be incorporated into the design wherever possible.
