Finders Keepers

by: Terry Kwan and Juliana Texley

It takes a lot of “stuff” to conduct an activity-based science program. Teachers often use personal funds to purchase materials to use in their classes. They also save a lot from year to year and collect items for possible future use. But saving things also requires a lot of storage space that may not be available. So a balance must be struck because clutter presents a safety problem in classrooms, particularly classrooms with active science programs. Being able to distinguish between those truly useful items to keep, finding spaces and ways to store items neatly and safely, and knowing how to properly dispose of unneeded items are important skills to learn and practice regularly.
