Inside the Stockroom

Just this June, the stockroom at the Science Lab has been loaded with many apparatuses. The cubicles have been displayed with materials such as test tubes - with holders and racks, beakers, flasks, funnels, alcohol lamps, platform and triple beam balances, mortars and pestles, evaporating dishes, tripods and wire gauze, and microscopes. The drawers have also been stocked with glass slides and cover slips, thermometers, stopwatches, magnets, mirrors and lenses, prisms, stirring rods, filter papers and documents needed at the science lab. The cupboards have also been stored with electrical devices in Physics, and chemicals. Other lab materials are also placed in the cupboards including the display boards in Biology.

There are also other helpful materials inside the stockroom, which include the overhead projector with white screen and a set of computer. The school head permitted the storage and usage of the computer at the lab because the room is secured with grills.

Science Lab is fully operational this school year

Third Year students have enjoyed the amenities at the science lab. Other year levels perform their lab activities at their respective classrooms due to the nature of their lab activities. For instance in Biology, microscopic studies can be done even outside the room if the weather permits. The same can be done with the prisms in Physics.

In Chemistry (a third year subject), activities such are heating, transferring of liquid chemicals and measurements using balances are best done in a laboratory room. The lab-in-charge has put in place a system of borrowing equipment. The students have to secure a slip wherein they list down the needed apparatuses. The slip is presented to the lab-in charge, who in turn releases the materials requested. This transaction is done at the receiving window of the stock room.

Third year students swap rooms with the III – Diamond (the occupants of the lab), whenever they need to perform lab activity.
