Why Science Room Design Matters

The science room for elementary school introduces students to physics, geology, biology, earth science, and STEM concepts. Spacious collaborative tables stand up to elementary-level science experiments and feature laminate tops that clean easily with soap and water. Adjustable legs ensure students of all heights work comfortably, and lightweight construction makes them easy to arrange in large or small groups. A portable sink allows quick cleanup after projects, and first aid and safety equipment help teachers ensure projects go off without a hitch. Lockable storage secures project components and science equipment when not in use.

What Makes a Great Science Room?

For Students

The science room should feature collaborative workspaces that accommodate both large and small group projects. There should be wide walkways between work areas, allowing students to move to and from storage units as needed. A portable sink makes cleaning up after messy projects simple.

For Teachers

A great science room should include space where lessons, presentations, and project instructions can be presented to the whole class. Ample storage areas should ensure science equipment and project supplies stay organized. Wide walkways between workstations allow teachers to easily move from one student group to another.

For Administrators

The science room should be furnished to meet school needs and align with district, city, or state regulations. Products must be readily available with on-time delivery and quick, efficient installation.
