  Case: Messy Classroom
I have successfully included students experiencing phenomena and engaging in inquiry in my classes. My students are engaged and seem to enjoy my class. Unfortunately, even when I remember to have students clean up at the end of each period, I still seem to have to clean up the lab area for at least a half hour at the end of each day. Any help?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make cleaning up part of the student's grade. I would also use a reword system to encourage cleaning habits. If the problem continued I would assign students to cleaning duty.

Comments: I do not feel a student's grade should be impacted by cleaning the room. A reward could be attached to it but their grade should not be impacted. Some students struggle with learning as it is and to have the pressure of anything non academic impacting their grade can be very stressful.
