Laboratories

Laboratories open the doors for practical learning. In the era of technology and digitalization, early exposure to technologies prepares students for the future. We have a dedicated Computer Laboratory for students of all grades. Computer labs are furnished with the latest technologies and systems, exposing students to a digital world. Our computer labs have excellent Wi-Fi connectivity and all necessary accessories.
We have a separate laboratory for Senior and Junior Grade students assisted by Lab In-Charge and Maintenance team. Our computers labs are well-equipped with upgraded system software and high-speed internet connectivity.
Early exposure to technology and computer will enable students to overcome their inhibitions with the computer.

Laboratory activities have long had a distinctive and central role in the science curriculum. Science educators have suggested that many benefits accrue from engaging students in science laboratory activities. Since the end of the 19th century, when schools began to teach science systematically, the science laboratory has become a distinctive feature of science education.
Practical work in Chemistry is used to engage students in investigations, discoveries, inquiries, and problem-solving activities. The laboratory is designed to help students gain a better idea of the nature of science and scientific investigation by emphasizing the discovery approach. In addition, it gives students an opportunity to observe chemical systems and to gather data useful for the development of principles subsequently discussed in the textbooks and in class.

Newton won a stunning victory for the intellect and the democratization of science, because it became possible for students to have as much authority as teachers. By knowing proper methods, a youth could conduct an experiment whose results might confound his elders.” Newton’s program of “experimental philosophy” firmly and successfully established the central methods of physics, whereby inference from experience guides formulation of hypotheses, whose predictions are validated by experiment.
Laboratory activities in high school physics provide experience with phenomena, a starting place for the systematic development of students’ ideas, and a testing ground for the predictive power of their reasoning.
Laboratory activities are designed to engage students so that they may acquire skills to:

  • measure physical quantities with appropriate accuracy
  • recognize factors that could affect the reliability of their measurements
  • manipulate materials, apparatus, tools, and measuring instruments
  • clearly portray their descriptions of their observations and measurements
  • represent information in appropriate verbal, pictorial, graphical, and mathematical terms
  • inference and reason their observations
  • rationally defend their conclusions and predictions
  • effective and valued participation with their peers and their teacher in a cooperative intellectual enterprise
  • articulate reporting of observations, conclusions, and predictions in formats ranging from
  • informal discussion to a formal laboratory report
  • recognize those questions that can be investigated through experiment and to plan, carry out, evaluate, and report on such experiments
  • The Physics lab opens the door for entirely new exploration-based forms of education. With this potential in mind, the lab provides an aid to teachers and students wishing to try out virtual, “hands-on” experiences in physics.

The Biology Lab is a resource place for biology and science teachers. It contains a variety of lessons, quizzes, labs, web quests, and information on science topics. You can find lessons related to biology topics in the links listed under “topics” on the sidebar. Topics include: Ecology, Genetics, Anatomy, Cells, Scientific Method, and Evolution.
The expression “hands-on, minds-on” summarizes the philosophy we have incorporated in our biology lab activities so that students will learn best if they are actively engaged and if their activities are closely linked to understanding important biological concepts. For example, it is helpful to use hands-on models to engage student interest and foster multiple modality learning, but it is crucial to closely link the modeling activity to student understanding of the actual biological processes and this can be done by regularly visits to the biology lab.

To make mathematics fun and interesting, the school has set up a special math lab for students to learn about various concepts using tools, shapes and real-life situations. It offers Multiple Teaching and Learning Aids as well as a complete theme based ambience which helps students to visualize and feel mathematics. Learning aids comprise of Technology Applications, Videos, Manipulative, Measuring Instruments, Tables, Charts etc. A mathematics theme based ambience is created complete with tables, chairs, posters, floor tiles etc. Based on the three pillars of ‘Imagination, Investigation and Interaction’, it provides an opportunity to students to understand, internalize, discover and verify the basic mathematical and geometrical concepts through concrete objects and situations.
The laboratory also encourages the students to think, discuss amongst themselves as well as with the teacher, and assimilate concepts.

The study of people, places, and environments enables us to understand the relationship between human populations and the physical world.
Students learn where people and places are located and why they are there. They examine the influence of physical systems, such as climate, weather and seasons, and natural resources, such as land and water, on human populations. They study the causes, patterns and effects of human settlement and migration, learn of the roles of different kinds of population centers in a society, and investigate the impact of human activities on the environment.
This enables them to acquire a useful basis of knowledge for informed decision-making on issues arising from human-environmental relationships.

  • The solution is focused on developing higher order thinking skills in children.
  • The hands-on learning kits are targeted towards stimulating young minds.
  • Hands on learning for highest form of understanding
  • Help students to remember the concepts better
  • Students feel accomplishment when a task is completed
  • Helps to transfer the experience to other learning situations
