Where Curiosity Meets Equipment
Six purpose-built laboratories — Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, and English Language — give every Dunes Academy student the tools to learn by doing, not just reading.
Laboratory Infrastructure
Built for Every Strand of Learning
At Dunes Academy, practical knowledge is not an afterthought — it is woven into the timetable. Our six laboratories are individually designed, separately staffed, and stocked with the instruments students need to conduct real experiments, build genuine competence, and develop the analytical habits that examinations and careers demand.
Lab Standards
What Every Lab at Dunes Academy Offers
Each laboratory is held to the same baseline — purpose-built, safely managed, and actively used across every class level.
Dedicated Lab Periods
Separate timetable slots ensure practical sessions are never squeezed into theory time. Labs run regularly for all year groups.
Safety-First Environment
Fire extinguishers, first-aid kits, safety goggles, and trained lab assistants are in place in every science and chemistry workspace.
CBSE-Aligned Syllabus
Equipment lists and experiment rosters map directly to the NCERT practical curriculum for Classes VI–XII, covering every board-required activity.
Supervised by Trained Staff
Each lab has a subject-specialist teacher and a trained lab assistant present during every session, guiding students and maintaining records.
Practical Records Maintained
Every experiment is documented in individual practical notebooks, reviewed by teachers, and counted towards internal assessment scores.
Regular Equipment Upgrades
Lab inventories are reviewed each session. Outdated or damaged instruments are replaced so students always work with reliable, accurate equipment.
Our Six Laboratories
A Lab for Every Discipline

Physics Laboratory
Optics benches, electrical circuits, mechanics rigs, and measurement instruments let students test the laws they study in class.
Chemistry Laboratory
Stocked with analytical-grade reagents, gas burners, titration sets, and exhaust ventilation — everything required for NCERT practicals.
Biology Laboratory
Compound and dissecting microscopes, prepared slides, specimens, and charts make cell biology, anatomy, and ecology tangible.
Mathematics Laboratory
Geometric models, number boards, puzzles, and manipulatives transform abstract concepts into tactile, memorable experiences.
Computer Laboratory
High-speed internet, updated workstations, and licensed software support coding, digital literacy, and competitive exam preparation.
English Language Lab
Audio-visual aids, structured speaking activities, and regular group discussions build fluency, confidence, and communication skills.
Science · Class IX–XII
Physics Laboratory
The Physics Laboratory bridges the gap between formula and reality. Students measure acceleration under gravity, trace ray diagrams through actual prisms, assemble circuits, and verify laws that textbooks merely describe. Instruments are individually calibrated and maintained by the lab assistant each term.
- Mechanics apparatus — masses, pulleys, inclined planes, spring balances
- Optics — prisms, convex and concave lenses, ray-box kits
- Electricity — multimeters, rheostats, resistance boards, galvanometers
- Wave and sound demonstration sets
- Vernier callipers, screw gauges, and precision measuring tools
- Dedicated lab for Classes IX–XII; exploratory demonstrations for VI–VIII
Science · Class IX–XII
Chemistry Laboratory
Our Chemistry Laboratory is designed around safety and rigour. Each workbench has independent gas, water, and drainage access. Reagents are stored in labelled, lockable cabinets and dispensed under teacher supervision. Fume extraction and fire-safety provisions meet CBSE norms for senior-school chemistry practicals.
- Analytical-grade reagents for salt analysis, titration, and qualitative testing
- Bunsen burners, water baths, and electric heating mantles
- Glassware — beakers, flasks, burettes, pipettes, condensers
- Balance room with precision digital balances
- Safety goggles, gloves, and spill-response kits at every bench
- Full NCERT Class XI and XII practical syllabus coverage
Science · Class VI–XII
Biology Laboratory
From onion-cell osmosis in Class VI to enzyme activity assays in Class XII, the Biology Laboratory supports a full twelve-year journey through life science. Prepared slides, botanical specimens, and anatomical models give students sensory access to structures that diagrams cannot convey.
- Compound and dissecting microscopes with 40× to 400× magnification
- Prepared slides — plant cells, animal cells, bacteria, mitosis stages
- Botanical specimens — roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds
- Anatomical models — human heart, eye, ear, torso, skeletal system
- Dissection kits for Class XI–XII zoology practicals
- Wall charts and 3D cell models for conceptual reinforcement
STEM · Class I–XII
Mathematics Laboratory
The Mathematics Laboratory was built on a single conviction: no child should find maths abstract. Tangrams, geo-boards, algebra tiles, fraction bars, and 3D geometry kits let students construct understanding at their own pace before moving to abstract notation. Weekly sessions are timetabled for all classes.
- Number sense — place-value kits, Dienes blocks, number lines
- Geometry — geo-boards, tangrams, compass sets, 3D shape kits
- Algebra — expression tiles and function-machine manipulatives
- Data and statistics boards for probability experiments
- Puzzle and game corner to build problem-solving confidence
- Activity books aligned to NCERT Lab Manual for Classes VI–X
Technology · Class I–XII
Computer Science Laboratory
Digital fluency is a core academic skill, not a co-curricular extra. The Computer Lab runs structured sessions from Class I through XII, progressing from basic keyboard literacy to Python programming, database fundamentals, and web development for senior students. High-speed internet access supports research and supervised online learning.
- Updated workstations — one per student during practical sessions
- Licensed operating systems and productivity software
- Programming environments — Python, HTML/CSS, and CBSE-specified languages
- High-speed broadband with supervised and filtered internet access
- Printer and scanner access for project and presentation work
- Separate practical examination slots for Classes X and XII board practicals
Language · Class I–XII
English Language Laboratory
Strong English — spoken and written — opens every door. The English Language Lab is a structured, activity-rich space where students listen to model speech, practise pronunciation, present to peers, and receive immediate teacher feedback. Daily sessions run for primary classes; weekly sessions for middle and senior school.
- Audio-visual tools — projector, speakers, and curated listening resources
- Group discussion circles structured around CBSE speaking-and-listening norms
- Role-play and drama activities to build natural conversational fluency
- Public speaking practice — prepared speeches, extempore, debate formats
- Reading aloud sessions with fluency tracking by the English faculty
- Interhouse competitions — debate, elocution, and quiz seeded from lab sessions
