Bureau of Education India. Occasional Report No. 9. The Planing and Fitting up of School Laboratories

1921

The planning and furnishing of laboratories often engage the attention of science teachers the Department of Education and engineers each of whom has to share the responsibility in adapting the design and arrangement of laboratories to the numerous and varied local conditions. [...] Diverse as may be the opinion of teachers as to the position of benches and the choice of fittings all will probably agree that no effort should be spared to attain the following five objects:- 1. The laboratory should be capable of expansion and Modification to meet the growing needs of the school and be compact in arrangement. [...] The reagent shelves that have to be placed on the fables and the sinks which are needed at each seat for chemistry work militate against the free use of physical apparatus and a class in chemistry cannot be immediately followed by one in physics as the removal of the apparatus used in the previous lesson and the arranging of that required for the new lesson will cause delay in class work. [...] The level of the floor should be the same throughout the laboratory and the top surface of the sill of door frames should also be in the same level. [...] The height of the frame supporting the drawer should be such as to allow free movement of the knees of the pupils seated on the stools while at work.
