Step 5: Setup  

Equipment

  • Depending on practicals you intend to cover and number of learners you choose as your maximum per class make a detailed list of all equipment required
  • Include a list of required equipment along with prices in your proposal
  • In addition to scientific equipment we have found the following necessary; clipboards, stationary, containers to carry and store equipment, posters (do not rely on functional blackboards in classrooms), water containers, plastic basins, gas primus (for heating water), kettles for schools that have electricity and spirit burners for heating test tubes.

Vehicle

  • Must be able to safely transport glassware and scientific equipment
  • It may be necessary to customize the interior to accommodate necessary equipment
  • See photo gallery for an example of our current vehicle 

Office/Storeroom

  • Need only sufficient space to store all equipment and paperwork
  • Must have washing up facilities
  • Must have safe, accessible parking for vehicle
