Science laboratory
A science laboratory, also known as a science lab, research laboratory, or lab, was any area set-up for work in experimental or observational science. Areas like these were commonplace aboard explorational vessels such as Federation starships, space stations and outposts, under the auspices of Starfleet's sciences division.

Crossfield class

Aboard the  USS Discovery, Captain  kept his own research lab containing weapons and specimens he'd collected. Located on the lower decks of the engineering hull, this lab featured a holding cell and a window viewing starboard. ()

After Captain Christopher Pike made the decision to move the captain's ready room to another location in 2257, the ready room attached to the bridge was converted into a science lab. Numerous pieces of scientific equipment (including a Vulcan data module) were moved into the section. ()

Constitution class
The   had fourteen separate science labs during James T. Kirk's five-year mission during the late 2260s as commanding officer. () 

Kirk met psychologist Helen Noel at the 2265 science lab Christmas party. ()

 Geological lab ()
 Astrophysics laboratory (; )
 Electromagnetic section ()
 Bio and Medical labs ()
 Biopsy lab ()
 Biochemistry lab ()
 Pharmacology lab ()
 Chem lab ()
 Nuclear electronics lab ()

The refit configuration of the Constitution-class also had science labs, as was typified aboard the . In 2293, Spock and Chekov used one such lab to examine Klingon blood. ()

Galaxy class

 starships like the  had at least sixteen general-purpose science laboratories plus a number of dedicated facilities studying different disciplines. Extra labs could be installed on Deck 8 if needed. () Typical science laboratories aboard a Galaxy-class starship included:
 astronomical sciences
 astrophysics lab ()
 stellar cartography lab ()
 stellar cartography viewscreen ()
 stellar dynamics ()
 planetary sciences
 geological lab ()
 physical sciences
 engineering lab ()
 quantum mechanics ()

 biological and medical sciences
 exobiology ()
 Aquatics lab ()
 arboretum ()
 hydroponics laboratory ()
 cetacean ops ()
 biomedical lab ()
 medlabs one through four ()
 Plant biology lab ()
 cybernetics lab ()
 cultural anthropology
 archaeology lab ()
 tactical lab ()

Intrepid and Nova class 

 and  ships shared an identical science lab design. Typical science laboratories aboard these starships included:
 Stellar cartography
 Astrometrics ( only) ()
 Bio and medical labs
 Sickbay lab ()
 Science lab ()
 Holographic research lab ()

Sovereign class
Typical science laboratories aboard a  starship included:
 stellar cartography ()
 bio and medical labs
 hydroponics laboratory ()
 engineering laboratory ()

Starfleet Academy 
Starfleet Academy possessed one of the most effective reconstructive analysis labs in Starfleet ().  The Academy also used laboratories in an academic sense as well.  In this regard a "lab" was a counterpart to classroom instruction in which students could put abstract concepts to an actual practical tests.  Academy labs were graded, including many having rather complex final exams, such as the Academy lab final for exochemistry ().
