It uses equipment and techniques that mirror those used in industrial, clinical and forensic laboratories. There are many investigation examples to be found on the Royal Society of Chemistry website www.rsc.org. Although featured here in our Chemistry section, Micro-science is also applicable to Physics and Biology investigations. Benefits of Micro-Science:. More efficient and effective. More orderly learning environment (less moving around the room, no rush for limited apparatus, mainly seated during practical activities). Encourages good scientific attitudes (attention to detail, careful observation, working systematically). Safety is enhanced as much smaller quantities of chemicals are used or produced, greatly reduces risks. Possibility of breakages / spillages greatly reduced, encouraging confidence and hands-on' involvement. Smaller quantities also reduce the chemicals that are disposed of at the end of lessons, reducing pollution. With Micro-science, investigations can be completed quickly giving more time for thinking about results and drawing conclusions and students can also retain more reliable data by gaining time to repeat observations.
