I was interested to revisit the science classrooms at my old school- & disappointed to find that they had been completely refurbished with new workbenches.
A Chemistry lab from 1961
The same lab in 2008- locked, view through the window
I’m told that the safety elf prevents much of the practical experimentation that we used to do back in the 70s and that even the chemistry set is an endangered species. Shame that.
