A periodic table on the ceiling of a chemistry lab/classroom, footprints and fossils of amphibians and animals in a courtyard sidewalk, a 60-foot slinky suspended from the ceiling, and a tessellation pattern in the floor tile extend science learning beyond the classroom door. These are all ways in which school buildings can teach. And, surprisingly, many of the innovative facilities are inexpensive and practical. This chapter has a number of ideas to spark the creativity of your own team.
