Small schools may have <br /> a project room that is a multiuse space to serve more <br /> 9-12 Physical Science 1,200 than one program,i.e.,art,science,crafts,etc.Additional <br /> Biology 1,200 storage may be necessary for the specialists who use this <br /> Physics 1,200 room. <br /> Earth Science 1,400 <br /> Chemistry 1,500 When a middle school grade level has paired teams for <br /> Multipurpose Science 1,500 language arts/social studies and math/science, there <br /> (if required) should be a 50%mix of each type of room for that grade <br /> level. For four-teacher teams there should be one sci- <br /> Windows Standards ence room for every three regular classrooms. <br /> K-12 Project and Science rooms must <br /> have windows.
