For primary schools, the science room is managed by the Head of the Science
Committee and there are usually four units under the management of the science
room, namely;
a. Science Room Fun Unit
b. Stock Storage Unit
c. Room Security Unit
d. Teaching Aids Storage Unit

All members under the organizational structure in the field of Science are
involveddirectly in the management and administration of laboratories and
science rooms in schools. The school head teacher is responsible for the overall
management of the laboratory and science room in the management of the
school's science curriculum and co-curriculumfromin terms of planning,
implementation, coordination, evaluation and monitoring. The Headmaster is the curriculum
leader who is responsible for the teachers and laboratory and science room staff in
professional and managerial aspects.
Head of the Science Committeeresponsible for assisting the Headmaster in
the overall management of the laboratory and science room.

c. Ensuring that the laboratory and science room are always clean, cheerful and
safe.
d. Identifying the need for science equipment and materials to be used in
practical work as well as filling out forms or order books for the actions of
laboratory and science room staff.
e. Supervise the use of scientific equipment and materials so that they are used
correctly, carefully, economically and comply with safety measures.
f. Assist the Head of Science and Mathematics or the Head of the Committee
to record, check and update stock.
g. Manage the information system for science lists and materials.
h. Carry out other duties as directed by the Principal and Headmaster from time
to time.
Exercise
1. State the three main duties of the Head of the Science Committee, the
Science Teacher and in the management of the science laboratory.
2. List the activities that can be done by the head of the science committee and
the science teachers during the school holidays.

2.3 Budget
1. The budget involves the systematic planning of the purchase of chemicals and
scientific equipment and offices based on allocations. It requires wisdom to
ensure optimal use by schools.
2. Two components that need to be taken into account before the expenditure
estimate is done, which are requirements and allocations. Requirements are
planned based on current stock in laboratory storage and a record system
that is updated at all times. The allocation is planned based on the updated
current allocation position so that expenses do not exceed the allocation.
3. Planning is done two or three months before the end of the year. This allows
consideration of what to buy and early ordering. Planning is the
responsibility of the Science Committee and science subject teachers.
However, the final decision is made by the Principal.
4. When making a budget, the following things should be taken into account;

h. Invoice.
The supplier sends the invoice together with a signed copy of the delivery
note. The head of the department checks the invoice to match the price
made. Send the invoice to the school office for payment.
a. The laboratory assistant fills out the application form and is signed by the
head of the field/committee.
b. The school administration will askquotations from several companies.
c. A selection is made and successful companies are contacted.
d. The school will send the order form and the company will send the
equipment/materials along with the invoice and Delivery Order (DO).
e. The school inspects the equipment/materials before signing the invoice
and DO.
a. The laboratory assistant fills out the application form and is signed by the
head of the field/committee.
b. The laboratory can buy first and submit a receipt to the school
administrator to withdraw money frompetty cash.
Collect information
1. You are required to collect information regarding the purchase and payment
procedures for scientific equipment/materials along with examples of order
forms, invoices and Order delivery.

Exercise
1. Define PCG (Per Capita Grant). How is the PCG calculation method for
government primary school students determined.
e. Store the new stock behind the old stock on the shelf.
4. For inorganic chemicals, they should be labeled on the bottle according to the
name of the metal. Bottles of inorganic chemicals are arranged
alphabetically in a closed cupboard.
5. Do not arrange on an exposed shelf because it is easy to get dust.
12
(SCE 3073 Scientific Skills and Science Laboratory Management)
6. Di, tri, ortho and meta additions are ignored and stored according to the metal
name. Example: Triammonium orthophosphate is stored under the name
ammonium compound.
7. Separate chemicals that can absorb water from the air with those that can
remove water from the air.
8. Chemical substances that can absorb water from the air are such as
concentrated sulfuric acid, barium chloride, barium nitrate, iron (III) chloride,
potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium thiocyanate, calcium
chloride, calcium oxide, calcium nitrate, cobalt (II ) chloride, cobalt (II) nitrate,
chromium (II) sulfate, copper (II) chloride, copper (II) nitrate, magnesium
chloride, sodium bromide, sodium hydroxide, sodium iodide, sodium nitrate,
stannous (II) chloride, zinc chloride, zinc nitrate.
9. Materials that can lose crystal water to the air such as ammonium carbonate,
borax (disodium tetraborate), potassium hexacyanoferrate (II), magnesium
sulfate, sodium acetate, sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate.
10. Corrosive liquid chemicals should not be placed on shelves that
height.
11. Alkali metals that are very active and easily oxidized when in contact with air
should be kept immersed in paraffin oil. If you want to remove, use tongs
and cut with a sharp knife. Do not touch with hands.
12. As for yellow (white) Phosphorus, it is very dangerous and very active. So
this material needs to be stored in cold water.
13. For chemicals that are decomposed by light such as argentum nitrate and
concentrated nitric acid, they need to be stored in dark glass bottles.
14. For chemicals that are easily damaged by heat such as vitamin C (ascorbic
acid) and hydrogen peroxide, they need to be stored in the refrigerator.
15. For very dangerous chemicals such as arsenic compounds and cyanide
salts. Store in a special locked cupboard and record the quantity.

form and send it back to the approving authority and the school's asset
records need to be updated on the KEW PA-2 or KEW PA-3 form.
Exercise
1. You have completed practical work involving several materials such as;
Dilute hydrochloric acid solution
Dilute sodium hydroxide solution
Sulfur crystals
Explain the disposal method for the waste material.

1. A complete Science Laboratory should have a room for teaching and learning
activities, a preparation room and a chemical store.
2. Science laboratory tables are usually fixed in position and equipped with sinks
and gas pipes. For the science room, the arrangement of the tables can be
modified for activities such as role playing, simulations and science
investigations.

(SCE 3073 Scientific Skills and Science Laboratory Management)
3. The Preparation Room usually stores science equipment and houses one or
more science lab assistants. Science laboratory management files and
official desk files are usually placed here.
4. The chemical store is equipped with shelves to store chemicals either in solid
or liquid form by following the correct storage method.
5. Volatile, corrosive, smelly and dangerous chemicals are usually handled in a
fume chamber.
