Statewide Reach for Local Impact

FIND IT FUND IT FLORIDA

Our goal is to boost student engagement and add a burst of collaboration to our science lab with some fresh, innovative tables. These tables are versatile and adaptable, bringing a whole new level of excitement to our lab. With their sleek design and whiteboard tops, they’re not just for holding beakers and test tubes—they’re set to transform our space into a hub of collaborative energy.

Picture students huddling over a whiteboard, sketching out their boldest ideas, or rearranging tables for a group brainstorm. These tables are designed to get students involved and excited, making science class a more interactive experience.

Our curriculum is all about hands-on experimentation and teamwork. These tables will make it easier for students to dive into experiments, record their findings on the spot, and work through problems together. We’re committed to enhancing our STEM education, and these tables are going to be our game-changer.

What will be done with my students

Students will use these tables to dive into group experiments, taking advantage of their modular design to form just the right team size for every project. The whiteboard tops will turn each table into a live brainstorming hub where students can jot down ideas, sketch diagrams, and track their experimental progress. With tables that can be rearranged to fit any classroom setup, teachers can switch things up from individual workstations to large group configurations without breaking a sweat. These activities will seamlessly integrate into our curriculum’s focus on inquiry-based learning. These tables are like a canvas for creativity. They invite students to explore different setups, sketch out their ideas, and collaborate in new ways. It’s a space where creativity and scientific inquiry can mix and mingle. These tables are built to last, and they’re more than just a temporary fix. They’ll continue to support our curriculum and adapt to new learning activities for years to come. 

 

Benefits to my students

The new tables will add a dose of excitement to our science lab by fostering collaboration. The flexible design will make group work a breeze, encouraging students to team up and dive into collaborative problem-solving. The whiteboard tops will let students document their discoveries on the fly, making learning more interactive and immediate. Hands-on experiments and group discussions will help students get a clearer understanding of scientific principles. The tables will enhance students’ problem-solving skills as they brainstorm and analyze together.
