Who invented the "science lab" taught in modern high schools?
And when?
This lab consistes of the following equipment:
Bunsen burner, heatproof mat, tripod, gauze mat, beaker, stirring rod,
evaporating dish, conical flask, test tube, test tube holder, test tube
rack, spatula, retort stand, bosshead, clamp, funnel and filter paper,
tongs, safety glasses, (crucible, pipe-clay triangle, mortar and
pestle).
I suspect that the "safety glasses" were not on the original list. The
"heatproof mat" may be more recent, too. Otherwise, the list looks as
if it pre-dates the widespread use of both plastic and electricity.
