This course is intended to equip science education students with the skill to identify a good or a bankrupt science laboratory when they see one. Thus students will be taught how to construct a science laboratory. They will also be taught the importance of the various standard materials in chemistry, physics and biology laboratories. Safety in the science laboratory shall be taught as well as improvisation of basic science teaching materials and preparation of some basic laboratory reagents. Finally students’ teachers offering this course will observe students performing science practicals and they shall be given the opportunity to comment on hazards in the laboratory.   

Construction of Science Laboratories, importance of laboratory fittings, Safety in the science laboratory, preparation of some basic laboratory reagents, improvisation of basic science teaching materials and identification of possible hazards in on-going practicals in a science laboratory.
