The laboratory experience is much faster and better.
Consumables and glassware
What are the indispensable tools that a chemistry lab at school must have?
We mentioned earlier the microscope, which is certainly easy to use and allows the student to get in touch with the invisible world of biology.
First of all, however, before the tools, all the glassware and accessories that are used to manipulate the elements are needed. Cylinders, burettes, beakers, tongs, flasks, funnels, filter paper, pasteur pipettes and everything that helps to transfer and collect the material.
In the consumables we can catalogue the reagents and solvents that are the raw material for certain experiments.
Tools for teaching
.
The purchase of teaching instruments depends on the type of application one wishes to give to research and the school's budget. The list of laboratory equipment, even in a basic version, could be long.
In order of importance and frequency of demand, in addition to the microscope already mentioned, we recommend equipping the school laboratory with a heated magnetic stirrer and a melting point apparatus. Heating mantles for flasks, centrifuges, analytical balances, Bunsen burner lamps are also widely used.
Safety in the lab
The presence of students makes it imperative to observe the highest standards of safety in the laboratory.
It is advisable to wear protective clothing before entering the premises, to avoid damage to both person and clothing. A certain amount of protective gowns, gloves, goggles and masks should always be available to chemistry students.
