PHYSICS LAB

Physics is “the scientific study of matter and energy and the relationships between them, including the study of forces, heat, light, sound, electricity and the structure of atoms”.

Physics laboratory of NAND VIDYA NIKETAN, JAMNAGAR, is a place where experiments of Physics are not only carried out but also lived. Experimentation is an integral part of this core subject. With myriad Physics lab equipments manufacturers available around the globe equipping a laboratory is no more a Herculean task. And our school has an infinite array of Physics apparatus aligned to the curriculum.

One can see that Physics is a vast subject engulfing various disciplines in it and at school level a student is taught fundamentals of all these disciplines. In each of it there is multitude of experiments to be performed at school level. There is a wide range of Physics laboratory equipments from the common ones like magnets, pulleys, pendulums, inclined planes, heat lamps, beakers, lenses, glasses, tuning forks, item scales etc. to sophisticated ones like spectroscopes, microscopes, electromagnets, voltammeter, potentiometer, metre bridge, electric training kits, logic gates, optical benches, galvanometers, Searle’s apparatus, Gravesend’s apparatus, sonometer, all types of cells, diffraction gratings, LASERs…. And so on. Our spacious 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 and its applications. Students understand the difference between theory and application. Our 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 our Physics educational lab. There are different procedures of different experiments in Physics and then there are some basic behavioural 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.

Functioning:

Under the continual guidance and extravagant support of our Principal Mr. Radhey Shyam Pandey, our Physics lab keeps on growing in the instrumentation and equipment. The energetic team of all Science teachers, lab assistant looks after the activities and their channelized execution. Our laboratory functions are crystal clear. It 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.
