Learning Objectives for Laboratory Exercises Lab exercises should challenge students' thinking so they can develop knowledge and self-assurance in their: • measuring physical values with the necessary precision • identification of elements that may have an impact on the accuracy of their measurements • manipulations of substances, equipment, tools, and measuring devices • thorough explanations of their measurements and observations • The accurate verbal, pictorial, graphical, and mathematical depiction of information • logic and extrapolation from their observations • capacity to argue their forecasts and findings logically • productive and appreciated collaboration with their teacher and peers in a collaborative intellectual activity. • well-written reporting of findings, conclusions, and forecasts in a variety of formats • informal conversation as opposed to a formal lab report - the capacity to design, carry out, analyze, and report on such experiments. the ability to identify those questions that can be studied by experimentation. Teaching Conditions for Learning from Laboratory Activities Theory and research indicate that meaningful learning is achievable in laboratory activities if all students are given the chance to work together with peers while manipulating equipment and materials in a setting where they are free to find answers to challenges that interest them. The following instructional circumstances make this possible. • Students must give their whole attention to laboratory activities if they are to develop the manual and cognitive abilities necessary to master physics. For this, there must be enough tools and workstations for lab teams of just two or three students. - In order for the instructor to oversee the safety of student activities and have enough time to actively interact with each laboratory group, the number of students and the number of laboratory stations in the classroom must be kept to a minimum. • - When appropriate, laboratory exercises should involve objects and phenomena from the students' everyday lives, such as toys, sporting goods, tools, home goods, etc. The ability of students to walk easily between their desks and the laboratory area is necessary for the integration of laboratory activities with classroom work, as does having enough room for the equipment to be set up. The optimal classroom setup includes enough room for lab stations and equipment, desks, computers, and computers in general. It is especially desirable for the laboratory space to be connected with the classroom at the high school level. • The laboratory equipment should include computers and cutting-edge equipment. Computers and measuring devices containing current technology can be effective tools for learning physics concepts and developing abilities of measurement, analysis, and information processing, even if outstanding physics learning can occur utilizing the simplest equipment. • Although they can be used to extend and augment laboratory experience, computer simulations shouldn't be utilized in place of it. • Evaluation of student learning in physics should take into account both the knowledge learned and the abilities that students developed throughout laboratory activities. Exam questions that explicitly address laboratory work serve to both evaluate laboratory learning and convey to students the significance of laboratory work. • In order to effectively use laboratory activities, teachers must have enough preparation time to maintain, set up, and test out laboratory equipment before lessons. They also need a workspace with tools for repairing, maintaining, or building equipment. A focus on safe practice in all activities, suitable, up-to-date safety equipment, the availability of materials and references on safety, such as the AAPT publication Teaching Physics Safely, are all necessary for safe laboratory work for teachers and students. • Teachers require time, money, support, and motivation to engage in relevant professional activities in order to retain their abilities and stay current with new advancements in physics education. These could entail participating in workshops and professional conferences, reviewing new laboratory tools, curricula, textbooks, and reference materials, working with colleagues at universities and high schools, as well as in the physics and engineering research community, and consulting with them. Since students must develop their own knowledge of physics concepts, the laboratory plays a crucial role in high school physics courses. Students must build this knowledge through interactions with nature and the teacher; it cannot simply be imparted by the teacher. When laboratory activities are a well-integrated part of a learning sequence, meaningful learning will take place. In high school physics, it is not advisable to artificially separate laboratory activities from lectures. Experiments in physics are conducted in a physics laboratory. As is well known, experimentation is an essential component of the fundamental subject in the field of physics. These physics laboratories can be found in almost every educational facility. Nevertheless, each institution has a different educational laboratory with varying levels of sophistication. The majority of colleges purchase physics equipment in accordance with the curriculum. Physics is defined as "the scientific study of matter and energy and the interactions between them, including the study of forces, heat, light, sound, electricity and the structure of atoms" by the Oxford Advanced Learners dictionary. It is clear that Physics is a huge subject that encompasses many different disciplines, and students are taught the principles of each of these areas at the school level. Numerous schoollevel experiments might be carried out in each of them. The equipment used in physics laboratories ranges from basic tools like magnets, pulleys, pendulums, inclined planes, heat lamps, beakers, lenses, and item scales to more complex tools like spectroscopes, microscopes, electromagnets, voltammeters, and potentiometers. Purpose or the importance of Physics Laboratory A Physics lab aids a student in establishing the relevance of the theory. It brings clarity in the mind of the students regarding the basic concept of the subject. Students understand the difference between theory and application. Physics laboratory helps a student in improvising their approach towards the subject. Experiments carried out in Physics laboratories helps students in learning how to be patient and careful while taking observation and hitherto calculating inference. Research is everything in science without research science would get stagnated and it is here in Physics lab that a student learns what it is to be a researcher. What are the attributes of a researcher which they need to inculcate? These questions hovering over students mind gets answered in a Physics educational lab. There are different procedures of different experiments in Physics and then there are some basic behavioral rules in a laboratory. A student of Physics needs to be aware of all this. And working in a school physics laboratory actually puts a fundamental slab for them. Function of a Physics laboratory Broadly the functions of Physics Laboratory are determined according to the needs of the science industry. If the laboratory is for schools then the function is crystal clear. The laboratory is aimed in enabling students to learn physics theories in a more elaborative manner with the involvement of its application. The experiments carried out are mostly the ones in coherence with the curriculum. If the institute is for higher studies whether governmental or nongovernmental, there the objective is to carry out researches and studies relevant to the contemporary industry of science. While carrying out the research the researcher needs to apprehend to the commercial perspective of the study for making it viable.
