Chemistry Laboratories - Learning By Chasing Curiosity
Chemistry is a fascinating subject that helps us understand what the world around us is made of and how we fit into it.
At our school Manava Bharati India International School, learning chemistry is riveting through practical understanding. The focus is to explore scientific exploration while learning how to responsibly and vigilantly handle equipment and chemicals. There is attention given to learning the importance of carrying out one’s own experiments with care as to make the subject interesting without any unnecessary risks.
The Chemistry Laboratory provides a platform for students to take the subject from words on a page to an active part of their life. It nurtures scientific vigor and produces a generation of individuals well equipped for further research and development within the subject.
