Abstract: This paper presents some technical suggestions for biology and chemistry teachers, who lack the means at the school labs. In Albania, several high school education labs are either partially equipped or have a complete lack of chemicals and other aids needed to reach the goal. Laboratory sessions are suggested in biology, chemistry, physics and informatics Albanian curricula. Laboratories are the most attractive part of science subjects. They serve as motivation for students of all levels to participate actively in the classes, in sessions of these subjects. Note that these subjects seem to be very difficult to understand for students. The laboratory sessions makes easier learning of the topics planned for these subjects. Students look closely at theoretical explanations of the lessons, which are often memorized but not understood very well. Completion of lack of materials can be easily done by materials, which are part of our daily products or using of technology. Realization of these laboratory sessions makes learning of subjects that students find hard to theoretically understand easier. Materials that can be used to complete these sessions can be easily provided by the teacher. Many of these we can found in market, pharmacy or daily materials. We suggest our colleagues to complete the lack of materials in their labs and to realize these labs sessions, because their satisfaction and achievement will be greater.
