participate alone or in small groups. They produce or
manipulate various variables that are under
exploration. Laboratory methods are chosen depending
on the learning needs of the student, time available to
teach, the setting, the resources and the teacher’s own
comfort. An experienced and skilled teacher uses a
variety of technique and teaching aid. One teaching
method such is laboratory.

method major concepts. Students are provided opportunities to teaching
witness events that have previously been discussed on method
describing in reading assignments.
2. Explorative activities: students are encouraged to
probe and investigate new information through open-
ended problems. Explanatory activities help students
to develop interest in science. They are motivated to
study the subject in depth. The new information
gathered through explanatory activities is utilized to
process new information and to find scientific
relationships.
3. Inductive activities: questions are posed to students
and they are guided to discover a relationship or a
concept on their own. Students are required to
recognize facts through inductive activities and derive
meaningful generalizations and principles.
4. Deductive activities: these activities are based upon
the maximum from the general to specific. Students
are encouraged to apply the previously learned
principles in explaining predicting on describing an
event. These activities contribute to reinforce major
concepts.
5, Psychomotor skill development activities:
students are provided opportunities to practice
psychomotor skills. The acquisition of these skills is
required to conduct experimental work.
6. Problem solving activities: students are required to
solve scientific problems and formulate answers.

method involves the establishment of objectives and a of the
plan of work; it calls for the preparation of the laboratory
teacher and the student. The teacher method
preparation calls for the selection of the
purpose and the objectives for the laboratory
period to solve a problem, to understand a
process to develop a skill etc. the teacher
should provide proper instructions to the
students. Teacher preparation essentially
consists in thinking ever what the students will
be doing, that is verbally preliminary
 instructions that they will require, the
difficulties that they are likely to encountering
and some of the questions by which the quality
of their work can be appraised and their
learning experiences in proved.

 Laboratory procedures should not be too

detailed, or they deprive the student of
intellectual challenge. The teacher who stands
at the student’s elbow and prompts her at every
step active the same conclusion. The procedure
should be prepared so as to state the problem to
be solved, fill in the necessary background and
general mode of procedure to be followed and
leave it to the students to formulate a precise
plan of investigation up the plan and reaching
her own conclusions.
 The work period: it is the period during which
the individual student on group, do their
particular work under the supervision of the
teacher. The teacher or groups, do their
particular work under the supervision of the
teacher. Teacher who would use the laboratory
procedure effectively must have the right
 proportion of reserve and readiness in
advancing suggestions when necessary.
Students may work individually, as individual
small teams, on in small teams they may come
together as a group at various times either
during a laboratory period or between
laboratory sessions. Adequate records should
be kept so that student progress can be checked
and waste of time prevented.
 Culminating activities: when the laboratory
work has been completed, the class should
meet together for common problems for the
organization of findings, for the presentation of What are
