Take A Scientific Approach to Buying a Science Table

If you’ve ever taken or taught a science class in school, you know how messy and destructive your experiments can get, from playing with Bunson burners and setting off chemical reactions to dissecting frogs and fetal pigs. But educators can’t afford to let their concerns over classroom furniture durability undermine the enrichment of their students. That’s why buying a high-quality science table makes a lot of sense.

So what should you look for in your ideal science table? Here are some important features to consider:

• Chemical-resistant finish to protect against damage from spills
• Convenient storage space for equipment and supplies
• Strong, stable legs and frame to support books, supplies and equipment
• Availability in different sizes to fit your classroom
• Casters for full mobility around the lab or..... View More

Buying versus Renting a Facility Floor Mat

Does your school hire full-time teachers, or does it go exclusively with substitute teachers? Unless you’re debuting a novel educational model, you hire a full-time staff of qualified teachers to establish continuity and give your students the best education possible. The same reasoning should apply to deciding whether to buy or rent a facility floor mat for your school. In many cases, the floor mats that keep your hallways clean and your students safe can become just as much a part of your building as the people who live, learn and work there.

When you rent a mat, you never know what you’re getting from week to week or month to month. Browse the Facility Floor Mat section on ClassroomPlus.com and you can choose from a number of features that keep your indoor and outdoor areas clean and safe for students and staff for years to come:

Clean-Room Mats Keep Dirt and Dust Under Wraps

Our all-new Clean-Room Mats provide the perfect solution for the dirt and debris your students and employees bring in from outside and unwittingly deposit in hallways, classrooms and gym floors. As an educator, you have two responsibilities to your students: keep the premises clean and keep them safe to navigate. Clean-Room Mats help you kill two birds with one stone.

So how does a Clean-Room Mat work? Think of it as a king-size lint remover. When pedestrians step on it, the adhesive gently collects the dirt and dust particles that accumulate on the bottom of their footwear. And when the adhesive surface collects its quota, you can peel it off and throw it away to reveal a fresh surface. But just like mousetraps, Clean-Room Mats need to go in the right places to capture the optimal level of unwanted imports.

Get Some Northern Exposure with our Canada Political Maps

How many Americans can point out and name all the Canadian provinces on a map? I haven't done any research, but I'm guessing not many. And I'll guess even fewer know anything about the people who live there. Of course, we all know Canadians like hockey, bacon, ice-fishing, and saying "eh." But what makes them really tick? They say the best way to learn about someone is to learn about where they live. So get started with a Canada Political Map.

This map makes a prominent yet unobtrusive addition to any classroom - just roll it down for reference and roll it back up when you're done. The design emblazons Canadian geography into your students' memories with vivid colors for each province as well as clear text that denotes cities, capitals, mountains, lakes and other noteworthy landmarks. In addition, the map won't tear and you can mark it up with your own notes to enhance..... View More
