In my Biology class, there are several lab work stations, few lab stools, and plenty of "L-shaped" student desks. Because of logistical reasons, many of the experiments supporting comprehension of the science content being presented has been modified due to the space that the student desks provide. Experiments have been attempted at the work stations, however, students end up meandering to their desks to record information. Having stools facilitates group work. Students seem to participate more when they can sit and perform the experiment with their peers. For example, when using glassware such as beakers, flasks, and graduated cylinders becomes a safety issue while working at student desks because of the slight angle of the workspace. Their desk space is limited compared to the lab tables. They have access to a greater workspace as opposed to their small desks. Performing lab experiments at the lab stations where they can sit and observe more easily at eye level made easier with stools, is important for accurate data collection. When they are close to the lab stations, there is easier access to lab equipment such as the sinks where there is water. Sometimes it is even necessary to move quickly during an experiment. Moving a lab stool out of the way is much quicker, and safer than getting out of a regular desk where your books and supplies might be in the way causing potential accidents that are unnecessary.
