Biology Lab

Biology Laboratory in a high school is where we learn about different biological aspects of nature. We explore cells & tissues of plants and animals through a compound microscope, learn about the bones and body structure through Human Skelton, visualize important organs like the heart through biological models & learn different organ systems through educational charts. Further, we also explore various species through preserved specimens kept in Glass jars. So, let us learn about the basic Biology lab equipment that we can find in a school:

1. Safety apparatus: The foremost and most important thing to keep in mind is definitely the safety of the students and other people handling experiments in a lab. The safety apparatus consists of safety goggles, lab apron, and latex gloves. Shoes are a must and any kind of sandals or slippers should not be worn in the labs.

The safety goggles protect us from eye irritation that may arise from any chemical or fumes present there. In case of any accidental splashing of chemicals or acids, it also protects us from the blindness of the eyes.

Lab aprons is worn to protect our body from splashing chemicals and acids. Further, it also helps us to protect our clothes while working in a lab. The latex gloves are very useful in handling chemicals, acids, or any specimens to prevent direct contact of these chemicals with the bare hands and skin.
