Being a student at Priory meansthatyouhaveenteredanyof the four science classrooms and observedand/orexperimentedwith themanyfunobjectsplacedaround the room. Whether it be with posters or with pigs, all the science classroomsaredecoratedaccording totheteachers’needsandinterests.
In Mr. Bessin’s physics classroom, the main attraction remainsthepigthathangsfromthe ceiling and occasionally wears hats “on special occasions.” In addition to this special piece of classroom decor, students can enjoy “the Physics Phun Zone” with games, puzzles, books and discrepant events. Bessin wants students to notice the “posters that talk about the Physics that you cannot see: very fast, very far, very small.” He also emphasizes the Static Electricity Hall of Fame, which “honor[s] the students that risk their lives for Physics.”
Mr. Trudelle has a similar approach, putting up posters and objects that are both fun and
informative. He says that his “decorationstendtobemore functional than artistic so that when [he’s]talkingaboutit,[he][has] somethingtoreference.”Ona darker note, during an earthquake, Mr. Trudelle made the split-second decisiontosaveabustofBeethoven ratherthancheckonhissister.
Mr. Tang’s purpose for his chemistry classroom seems to be the numerouspostersdecoratingthe walls. He explains, “I just like posters. I like the table of elements. I spend a lot of time trying to find different tables of elements. My favorite thing is the table of elements. I like the one that has a lot of the trends. It talks about the relationship between the elements.”
Next time you enter a science room, be sure to notice every small object the teachers have painstakingly decorated their rooms with!
