SC 130 Physical Science laboratory prep room inventory

Subsequent work on added lab 13, 14, and 15, converted the lab 06 shelf to general supplies used in many labs (laboratory six is a "one-off" practical), and saw the transfer of more equipment to the appropriate shelves. Wednesday demonstrations/activities/interactivities are generally kept on the same shelf as the laboratory for that week. Not all equipment is kept in the preparatory room. Small, high value equipment such as GPS units and stop watches are kept in a locked cabinet elsewhere. Some bulky materials are stored in the cabinets below and in a standing cabinet nearby.
