Elementary (1st-5th) Science Lab Remodel

Author Post

I am the elementary science teacher at a small private school.  Our lab is over 20 years old and it's time to start to look for funding for a remodel.  I'm new in this role and have been working in the space for 8 months and have some ideas, but I would love some feedback.  Do you work in a lab that you love?  What are the must haves?  Are there aspects of your lab that you dislike?

Currently my 'must haves' are all about storage and outlets.  It's all I can think about!

I am looking for inspiration and hoping to aviod any pitfalls.

Also, if you have aquired funding for a science lab are there any particular foundations that you used?

Thank you for your help!

If you can also have two sinks. At least one that is a deep sink. That's a nice feature to have.

Sinks! Our 6th grade science teacher doesn't have any & has to send kids out of the room to wash their hands, etc.

Oops, you already said my answer! This is what I get for not reading all the posts in the email 1st. ?

Yes, multiple sinks!  Great!
