Goal

To enhance the learning environment and promote active, hands-on scientific exploration in the middle school classroom by providing ergonomic, durable, and adaptable science stools.Provide stools that support proper posture and reduce discomfort during extended periods of laboratory work and scientific inquiry.
Ensure that stools are adjustable to accommodate the varying heights and needs of middle school students. 

Category

Class Furniture - Carpets, choral risers, transitional seating/desks, etc. 

What will be done with my students

1. Enhanced Lab Experiences:

Hands-On Experiments: Students will engage in more hands-on experiments and activities, benefiting from the comfort and flexibility of the new stools, which will allow them to focus on learning rather than discomfort.
Collaborative Projects: The new seating will facilitate easier movement and collaboration among students, fostering teamwork and peer learning during lab activities and group projects.
2. Increased Engagement and Participation:
Active Learning: With improved ergonomics, students will be more physically comfortable, encouraging them to participate actively in class discussions, experiments, and other interactive activities.
Engagement in STEM: The enhanced environment will stimulate interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects, promoting a positive attitude toward these fields. 

Benefits to my students

1. Enhanced Comfort and Focus:

Improved Ergonomics: The new stools will provide better support and comfort, reducing discomfort during long lab sessions and allowing students to focus more on their experiments and learning activities.
Increased Concentration: Comfortable seating will help students maintain their attention and concentration for longer periods, leading to better understanding and retention of scientific concepts.
Active Learning and Engagement:
Increased Participation: Comfortable and flexible seating will encourage students to participate more actively in classroom discussions, experiments, and group activities.
Hands-On Experiences: Enhanced mobility and ease of use will facilitate more hands-on learning experiences, making science lessons more interactive and engaging.
