This Practical Guide is designed to help both the teacher and the student in learning the skills and the procedures for conducting different Chemistry practicals using readily available as well as common laboratory equipment. It also offers step by step guide notes to help the teacher in preparing, conducting, administering and evaluating practicals. This guide together with its manual (Comprehensive Manual for Chemistry Practicals) is meant to increase student’s understanding of science practicals, acquaint them with the procedures of conducting science practicals and improve both teachers’ and student’s performance in the field. In order to continue to adapt and learn in a quickly changing world, students must be able to interact with their surroundings and actively engage themselves in the content of their studies. No field offers such readily available opportunities to practice hands-on application of skills as do math and science subjects. The ability to observe and appreciate the applications of math and science in our daily lives is an essential component of a person’s intellectual development. It is through interactive education that this can be acquired. A hands-on, interactive approach to learning truly has many benefits inherent in and of itself. • It fosters a deeper understanding through experiential discovery as opposed to rote leaning and memorization. • It encourages learning through enjoyment and excitement, which are stronger motivators than fear of punishment. • It allows for the development of creativity and curiosity within students, invaluable qualities with benefits far beyond the realm of formal education. • It empowers students to seek their own answers and truth in all matters – not just for test questions in school, but for the ones that really matter in life. This practical guide is aimed at encouraging an interactive approach to learning and to illuminate the relationship between the classroom, all aspects of a student’s life and the natural environment. Thus, through it, science becomes the study of reality. Many secondary schools in the country already have laboratories which are well equipped with basic laboratory equipment. However, what most of these laboratories are missing is teachers and technicians with the skills to prepare, conduct and evaluate science practicals. This is what APE Network’s Practical guide books are meant to address - complementing the teaching of practicals in secondary schools by providing systematic and thorough guide notes to facilitate better setup and conduction of practicals at school. In the end, we hope to improve the teacher’s confidence in the field of practicals as well as students’ understanding and response to practicals.
