Experiments

Lab safety + practical work

Simple, safe experiments with clear write-ups.

Lab Safety Rules

  • Wear safety glasses when instructed
  • Tie back long hair and secure loose clothing
  • No eating/drinking in the lab
  • Report spills and breakages immediately
  • Always follow the teacher’s instructions

How to Write a Lab Report

  1. Aim (what are you trying to find out?)
  2. Hypothesis (your prediction)
  3. Variables (independent, dependent, control)
  4. Method (step-by-step)
  5. Results (tables, graphs)
  6. Conclusion (what did you learn?)

Starter Experiments (Classroom-friendly)

Choose activities suitable for your lab and age group.

Biology
