NSTA Guide to School Science Facilities

By Lamoine L. Motz, James T. Biehle, Sandra S. West, et al.

Build the perfect environment for learning science. From advocacy of the planning process to use of appropriate finishing materials, and all the safety, accessibility, and legal guidelines in between, this book is the definitive source for anyone -- teachers, curriculum leaders, school administrators, facilities planners, architects -- involved with the designing and building process. The approach is flexible and forward-looking, with particular attention to the Standards -- and an awareness of the continuing evolution of science curricula and technology use in schools.Chapters on elementary, middle, high school, and outdoor facilities describe science rooms, laboratories, preparation rooms, student project rooms, and their furnishings in detail. Four-color photos and sections on safety, accessibility for students with disabilities, and legal guidelines make important information easily available.
