Laboratory

The main purpose of lab work in science education is to provide students with conceptual and theoretical knowledge to help them learn scientific concepts through scientific methods. Labwork is indispensable to understanding Biology. In order to develop this scientific approach and to make learning Biology easy and interesting we have a neat and organized biology lab, which is supplied with the of best equipment.

Lab-work is an integral part of learning Science. The Chemistry laboratory is a place that students love to visit to perform experiments. Although for some the odour is obnoxious and unbearable yet they strive to perform. The school provides its students a state of the art chemistry lab to nurture their interests in learning the subject with practical approach.

The laboratory is well-lit and well-ventilated. We have the exhaust fans working continuously. The lab is well – equipped in quantity and quality of instruments and apparatus. Every individual student’s need is catered to. They work independently under the supervision of the teachers and the lab assistant. Each student is provided with separate Bunsen burner and apparatus for their quick and uninterrupted performance. The lab has a distillation plant of its own which looks into the uninterrupted supply of distilled water throughout the year.

For a safe work environment, instructions on do’s and don’ts in the laboratory are also pasted in the soft-boards at various corners of the lab.

To cater to the safety norms , we have 3 fire-extinguishers in and around the lab and proper exit and evacuation plan in case of an emergency.

   

Here in Delhi Public School Megacity, infrastructure of the computer laboratories has reached land mark. There are four fully air-conditioned labs in use, which are of approximately of 500 sq ft each, consisting of around 107 computers of latest generation and are assembled by leading manufacturers, comprising of technologies that the city is yet to see.

The Computer Lab uses a stunning new technology of THIN CLINT system which is so far the only one in the city, open for the use of students at school level. Heavy processing power of the server and high speed link via fiber optics from the lab to the server room makes this entire set of 24 terminals operate.

Topographical Maps
Topographical Map interpretation is an important activity for class 9 & 10. These are conducted in the geography lab. The original survey maps have been procured from the Survey of India. In the lab the students study the maps and learn to interprete the various natural & man made features. The lab also contains the models of different natural phenomena’s and these help the students to acquire clear concepts. The lab also facilitates “Light Tracing” of the diagrams.
