Abstract
The development of Science in general and Physics in particular relies heavily on the interplay between theory and experiment. Therefore, the teaching and learning process in Physics must involve not only concepts but also experiments. To partly address the lack of available materials for experiments in the basic education level, the researchers developed and evaluated the Physics Microlab Kit (P6-μLab Kit) cum laboratory manual and the materials needed for the physics experiments. This project aims to help solve the perennial lack of resources, especially for Physics, at the basic education level. The developed P6-μLab Kit was evaluated by the experts and the students to be a good set of laboratory experiments, as indicated by an overall mean of 3.76 and 3.38, respectively. Its strength lies on its non-conventional format following the inquiry-based approach in doing an experiment.
