  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!)
If I were you I would have the lessons more organized. If the students only have access to the materials they need then clean up will be less hectic. I also think if you put the materials in baskets for each group it will be easier for you to manage who is and isn't cleaning up their mess. Having baskets with the materials in them will also help speed up your cleaning time because all you have to clean is the 5 baskets of materials.

Comments: This is a good idea because it alleviates the amount of stuff they have to get. Also, keeping everything that they need in baskets can help you ensure that everything is placed back in them at the end of each class by doing a quick check that everything is accounted for.
