A simple science lab supplies checklist
Plan classroom experiments with a clear list of essential instruments, glassware, teaching aids and safety supplies.
Organise by experiment and class level
Begin with the experiments in the curriculum and list every instrument, consumable and teaching aid needed for each one. Separating requirements by class level helps prevent unnecessary purchases and makes stock easier to manage.
Cover the everyday essentials
Common requirements may include laboratory glassware, measuring tools, microscopes and optics, models, stands and basic classroom demonstration materials. Quantities should reflect class size and whether students work individually or in groups.
Inspect, label and store
Check new supplies when they arrive, label storage areas and keep fragile items protected. A regular stock check helps teachers identify missing or damaged materials well before the next practical session.
