Working and experimenting in a
laboratory forms the basis and is quintessentially what physics is all about.
Applying theoretical knowledge and using it in experiments is the most
effective way to master the subject. Our school encourages and stands for all
round-development of its students and in keeping with that spirit, we have a
well-equipped and outfitted physics laboratory to foster and expedite learning
in the most effective way. The equipment here is state-of-art and addresses all
domains of the subject. The laboratory promotes the spirit of investigation and
testing and serves the learning interests of primary to senior secondary
students.
Up-to-Date and
Fastidious
There are meticulously designed and
neatly labelled charts and manuals to facilitate experiments and assist
students to execute all these with ease and safety. Safety procedures are
clearly stated and everyone must follow the rules and regulations mentioned
therein. The furniture and storage has been designed with special fire
resistant materials and fire extinguishers are placed at accessible distances.
The laboratory is spacious and airy
and allows students to integrate classroom exercises with the lab assignments.
The ample space permits equipment’s to remain set up, saving time and effort of
both lab assistants and the students.
The capacious laboratory houses
computers and other modern instruments which are integral to the proficient
functioning of the lab and also facilitate learning for the students. The
equipment and tools provided incorporate modern technology with standard
learning methods. They also develop physics concepts and skills for subjects
like analysis, information processing and measurement.

Laboratory Operation
The laboratory is operational only
during school hours. However, closer to the practical examinations, it remains
open for an additional two hours after school. At all times, the laboratory is
manned by one staff member and two lab associates.
They assist the students with any
difficulties and help to keep the laboratory hazard-free and clean.
Discipline and safety are our top
priority and we leave no room for short cuts. Top quality experiments are
conducted in our physics lab so that students benefit to the maximum.
