The NTHS science PLC is constantly working on increasing opportunities for students to use 21 century skills, as well as implimenting the Common Core standards.  Labs require students to collaborate, communicate, and often use technology.  In addition to this labs also require students to use many of the Common Core SMPs (Standards in Mathmatical Practice) such as; attention to detail and precision, making sense of problems and perservering to solve them, constructing viable arguments and to critique the reasoning of others,  use of appropriate tools, modelling and reasoning abstractly and quantitatively.  Increasing the number of lab coats would foster the implimentation of the 21 century skills and the common core standards.
