Flexible seating allows students to find comfortable positions throughout the classroom, and comfortable students are calm students. When calm, they are better focused and productive. Uncomfortable students get distracted! Not all students have the same needs, but currently all our chairs and desks are identical. In science, active problem-solving allows for a deeper understanding of science more so than a standard lecture. So, why have standard seating? Active learning needs to be a complete experience for the students. These wonderful students are great at collaborative work; they are currently allowed to sit on top of the desks, walk around the classroom, and choose where in the classroom they will sit. They will love these seating options, and I am sure it will give many the sensory input they need. This in turn will allow them to better process information.
