Chris, #anatomy & #physiology instructor near Philadelphia. Good Q. Probably the mountains (where I'm headed this weekend camping). #scitlap

Hi everyone, Kristin from MA - 7th grade science. Fav Place in the Universe.... the Mountain Region of NH. #scitlap

Q2 coming up at 9:10. #scitlap

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Thinking maybe we should start our own #scitlap commune in the mountains.

Feel free to combine Q responses. #scitlap All about how we use space.

GruntledChalkie Oct 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2 The outside space... I want the area outside the window to be part of my classroom #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Like adding birdfeeders for viewing? #scitlap

In reply to @GruntledChalkie

lorigreentx Oct 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Lori from Arlington, TX, 7th grade science 🔬, and my fave place is probably.... @Target... #scitlap

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: I would have #flexibleseating that would disappear into the floor when transitioning to #dissection (for space). #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 18 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: work tables and seating 1) bar height demo table with sinks 2) tall tables w/stools #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I'd love for that feature to be real! Press a button and POOF. Room is ready for lab. #scitlap

In reply to @bakerhhhs

sbosch_spps Oct 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#scitlap A2: I wish I had sliding glass doors to a fenced off area or patio. S could choose outside or in.

GruntledChalkie Oct 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Yes. we had a birds nest outside our window last year. kids loved watching the progress #scitlap

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Good one! #scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 Probably seating. I do like my lab tables, move them around all the time, but some other options would be great. #scitlap

sbosch_spps Oct 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#scitlap A2: Lego center for if finish early, but every student wants to save creation - how?

lorigreentx Oct 18 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: I have tons of dorm-style seating, which is odd for a science lab, but my Ss love it! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 18 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Haha! #scitlap

A3: writing on tables and tile floors has worked so well #scitlap

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A3: #flexible seating. Started w/ 24 desk/chair combos in rows + 7 fixed lab tables w/ 4 stools apiece. Down to 9 desks/chairs now. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Tables worked for me, but not so much the tiles. Our school uses the cheapest wax. #scitlap

In reply to @cjcrawcooper

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

We do that too w/ Expo fluorescent markers on black lab tables. #scitlap

In reply to @cjcrawcooper

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I like having lots of plugs. Great for moving tables to set up for microscopes, glue guns, or black lights. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I need new stools if nothing else. Mine are crap and top heavy. Always falling over. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 18 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Mine are so uncomfortable that I let S sit on tables if we aren't doing wet labs #scitlap

In reply to @pentaclethra, @bakerhhhs

lorigreentx Oct 18 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: I use my living room areas as breakout areas and not assigned seats. It’s always open for Ss to work at w/ peers. #scitlap

A4 I just bought this, because I couldn't stop myself. I will be organizing something soon. #scitlap

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: With no assigned seating/seating charts & #flexibleseating getting names down was quite the challenge. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Do you still have a seating chart for subs because admin requires it? #scitlap

In reply to @bakerhhhs

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: As far as lab equipment, stowed in cabinets in bins according to function or place in curriculum. #scitlap

quilterliz Oct 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

bakerhhhs Oct 18 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: Great Q. I could prolly improve in that area. Have EMS resuscitation equpmnt out for display/use & not hidden; hands-on course #scitlap

lorigreentx Oct 18 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5: walls are pretty bare at the start of year, but I gradually add their work/ pics of them so it’s all about them by the last day #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 18 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5: our mess! S helping each other w/ beads at one table, markers on another, drying class ware everywhere #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5 fishing for a way to show S passions in class. I ran out of limited bulletin board space. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 18 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A5 Is having fun a passion? My room is bright, and exciting, with lots of things to look at and do. #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A5 I have a TV I might run news/pics on. Not sure tho. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 18 @ 9:35 PM EDT

I took a bunch of cabinet doors off & built-up a medical library over the years. Ss can easily see & access books since no doors. #scitlap

a8 #scitlap Most of my wall space is markerboard, window, or closet (no doors). But, ss posterized portraits along front board

BroCstart Oct 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

a8 #scitlap We have to use command strips to get anything to stay up, esp. in the old part of the building (1920s!)

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A8 I want to incorporate more student work. I have lots of bulletin boards, but Ss input is lacking. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Oct 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A8: one wall is all whiteboard, one is all cabinets, one windows, and last is periodic table #scitlap

pentaclethra Oct 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Same here. I have a wall of S made safety posters. But I want to show other (digital) work as well. #scitlap
