Experiment time!

Conducting an experiment during every lab session is as if I am about to embark on a journey to learn new things. Experiment is fun though at the same time may be dangerous too when it comes to dealing with some highly concentrated acid. Well, no worries because we are usually briefed beforehand.

‘ An experiment differs from an observation in this, that knowledge gained through observation seems to appear of itself, while that which an experiment brings us is the fruit of an effort that we make, with the object of knowing whether something exists or does not exist.’

   One of the lab sessions I enjoyed the most is the Biology lab session. I have learned a lot through the experiments conducted and I like dealing with plant and animal specimens.

Two test tubes on the left is the Molisch test on carbohydrate and the third test tube is Acrolein test on lipid.

Biuret test to determine that enzyme is a protein.

   One thing that can't be denied is that I love to draw! The only time I can feel free and away from the hectic university life is when I am drawing. Drawing isn't one of my hobby but it is definitely a good way to let go all the frustration and tension. Below are some of the drawings drawn during biology lab sessions.

I know I might sound silly but I am indeed fascinated by these real plant specimens!

To draw and label the Animalia kingdom specimens is so challenging but I will face this challenge.

   Lab work can be so much fun if we look at the brighter side. It's not all about submitting the report and scored. It's all about enjoying the process throughout the experiment conducted and gain new knowledge and valuable experience.
