- Abstract
- Recently, mobile laboratories equipped with a variety of expensive equipment have been used in the world to perform laboratory work in schools. Mobile laboratories travel to various schools and demonstrate experiments to students and teachers. This article discusses the historical facts about the world’s first mobile chemistry laboratory, organized by V. N. Verkhovskiy. In 1921, despite difficult political circumstances and devastation in Russia Verkhovskiy organized the carriage-laboratory ("Wagon-laboratory") and travelled to various schools in Petersburg province. The purpose of carriage-courses was to train provincial teachers in the technique and methodology of chemical experiment. The mobile chemistry laboratory was equipped and the simplest and most affordable instruments were developed for it. The authors claim that these trips to schools were the prototype of mobile chemistry laboratory that turns one hundred years old in 2021.
