lab session

Hands-on science period

A lab session is a scheduled period for hands-on work in a laboratory, typically as part of an academic course.

Students conduct experiments, practice techniques, or apply concepts from lectures: The chemistry lab session runs three hours on Thursdays.

Lab sessions are distinguished from lectures by their emphasis on practical activity rather than instruction.
