A room or area specifically designed for scientific experimentation, research, or instruction. In a school setting, it is often found in subjects such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) where students can conduct hands-on experiments and investigations to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. These laboratories will be equipped with various tools, equipment and materials needed for conducting experiments, observing phenomena, and collecting data. The university aims to provide various types of lab, such as a chemical lab, biology lab, or physics lab among others. The goal of a laboratory is to provide students with the opportunity to actively engage in the scientific process and develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and experimentation skills.
