OBJECTIVE ACTIVITY
3 Mint. To introduce the INTRODUCTION:
Laboratory method. According to Webster , the
word laboratory was
applied originally to the
workroom of the chemist , a
place devoted to
experimental study of
natural science , testing ,
analyzing and preparing
various chemical materials.
Laboratory methods are
chosen depending on the
learning needs of the
student , time available to
teach , the setting , the
resources and the teachers
own comfort. Laboratory is
generally considered a place
equipped for experimental
study.
1 Mint. At the end of the class , ANNOUNCEMENT
the students will be able OF THE TOPIC :

about Laboratory method.

 It helps to acquire new
and broad knowledge by

verify major concepts.
Students are provided
 opportunities to witness
events that have
previously been
discussed on describing
in reading assignments.
 Explorative activities:
Students are encouraged
to probe and investigate
new information through
open ended problems.
Explanatory activities
help students to develop
interest in science. They
are motivated to study
the subject in depth. The
new information
gathered through
explanatory activities is
utilized to process new
information and to find
scientific relationships.
 Inductive activities:
Questions are posed to
students and they are
guided to discover a
relationships or a concept
on their own. Students
are required to recognize
facts through inductive
activities and derive
meaningful
generalizations and
 principles.
 Deductive activities:
These activities are based
on the maxim from the
general to specific.
Students are encouraged
to apply the previously
learned principles in
explaining, predicting or
describing an event.
These activities
contribute to reinforce
major concepts.
 Psychomotor skill
development activities:
Students are provided
opportunities to practice
psychomotor skills. The
acquisition of these skills
is required to conduct
experimental work.
 Problem solving
activities: Students are
required to solve
scientific problems and
formulate answers.
Assistance must be
provided to the designed
problematic students
with the aim to impart
training in scientific
process or problem –
 solving skills.

procedures. The technique for
laboratory procedure may be
considered in 3 phases or steps.

1. Introductory phase: The

introductory phase involves the
establishment of objectives and a
plan of work; it calls for the
preparation of the teacher and
the student. The teacher
preparation calls for the
selection of the purpose and the
objectives for the laboratory
period to solve a problem, to
understand a process to develop
a skill, etc. The teacher should
provide proper instructions to
the students. Teacher preparation
essentially consists in thinking
over what students will be doing,
that is verbally preliminary
instructions that they will
require, the difficulties that they
are likely to encounter and some
of the questions by which the
quality of their work can be
appraised and their learning
experience is proved. Laboratory
procedures should not be too
detailed, or they deprive the
student of intellectual challenge.

2. The work period:

■ It is the period during which

the individual student or group,
do their particular work under
the supervision of the teacher.
The teacher or groups, do their
particular work under the
supervision of the teacher.
Teacher who would use the
laboratory procedure effectively
must have the right proportion of
reserve and readiness in
advancing suggestions when
necessary. Students may work
individually, as individual small
teams, on in small teams they
may come together as a group at
various times either during a
laboratory period or between
laboratory sessions. Adequate
records should be kept so that
student progress can be checked
and waste of time prevented.

The length of the laboratory

period should be determined by
the nature of the problems and
the objectives. The activity
should be adapted to the type of
the work to be done. Student
may work individually, as
individual, small teams, or in
small teams within a large
group. When students work
Individually or in small teams
they may come together as a
group at various times either
during a laboratory period or
between laboratory sessions. For
example, a clinical conference
may be used to bring students
together to study the common
problems encountered by the
individual students in their
nursing care of patients.

Adequate records should be kept

so that student progress can be
checked and waste of time
prevented. Provision should be
made for individual differences.
Some students will complete
their task more quickly than
others. They can be given
additional assignments which
will help them to deepen their
knowledge or they may be
released to work on some related
learning area in which they are
especially interested.

3. Culminating activities: When

the laboratory work has been
completed, the class should meet
together for common problems
for the organization of findings,
for the presentation of the results
of individual or group problem-
solving activities. A wide variety
of types of activities may be
utilized in this phase of the
laboratory procedure. A few
suggestions are given below:

 Review of the plan for

solving the problem.

 Reports by students on
data gathered or other
findings.

 Presentation of
illustration material or
special contributions by
students working on
special problems. This
may take the form of
student development of
projection visual, of tape
recordings, posters,
 bulletin board, etc.

 Organization of findings,
summarization and
conclusion by the group.
The findings and the
conclusion may be
exhibited and scored or
rated by members of the
class or by competent
judge outside the class.

 Exhibits of various
projects may be set-up
and explained by their
student sponsors.

 Tests or examinations
may be used as a means
of measuring
achievements relative to
certain outcomes
