Practical skills are paramount for science students, and learning laboratory techniques is an ongoing process. New skills are constantly being introduced, some of which build on more basic concepts. This instructional film demonstrates the correct and safe procedure for carrying a scalpel and using a microscope; using a spring balance, ticker timer and Hodson light box; connecting meters in circuits; separation techniques; how to test for the presence of gases or organic compounds; and how to perform a titration.
