Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with the acquisition of practical and investigational skills. It is called the central science, as chemical principles underpin both the physical environment in which we live and all biological systems. Apart from being a subject worthy of study in its own right, chemistry is a prerequisite for many other courses in higher education, like medicine, engineering, technology, and other applied areas. Therefore, there is a need to provide learners with sufficient conceptual background in Chemistry, which is possible only by chemistry lab which will make them competent to meet the challenges of academic and professional courses after the senior secondary stage. Laboratory teaching gives the first-hand experience in observation and manipulation of the materials of science which help in developing understanding and appreciation of science.
