All classrooms need to have decorations on their walls. Having the right classroom decorations not only provide supplemental information to your lectures, but also help encourage students to learn and build interest in the topic. This is especially true in science classrooms, a subject many kids may find challenging. If your decorations are outdated, or are not doing their job of entertaining and educating your students, it might be time for you to try something else. One solution is using peel and stick wall decals. Wall Monkeys has millions of reusable wall decals that are perfect for classrooms and other educational settings. Wall Monkeys' decals make excellent classroom decor for many reasons:
- Wall decals will never damage your walls or strip the paint, once removed.
- Easy application; no tape, glue, or thumbtacks required!
- If you do not have a permanent classroom, and teach in multiple rooms, the decals travel very well and are easy to apply/remove!
Here are some of the ways you can enhance your science classroom with wall decals from Wall Monkeys, and make your classroom look great.
Using Wall Decals as a Teaching Aid
One way to enhance your science classroom with wall decals is by providing visual reminders to your students. If you’ve just finished teaching a lesson on the Periodic Table of Elements, having a Periodic Table wall decal on display will help your students remember what they learned. Or, you can put up an easy-to-follow human body system diagram as a supplement to an anatomy lesson. Similarly, map diagram wall clings are also ideal for other science topics such as geography. With Wall Monkeys, the educational diagram possibilities are endless (think: layers of the Earth, the anatomy of a volcano, and various weather systems!).
Students love being able to easily find the names of various parts they are studying, which will definitely help them prepare for upcoming tests or exams. To prevent cheating, the decals come off very easily. On test days, simply place the decals back on their original backing paper (wax paper or freezer paper also works well), and keep them out of your students' sight. At the end of the day, after all of your students have left, stick them back on your walls. Alternatively, if you are finished with that unit, you may leave your decals in storage for next year, and put up a whole new display of wall decals featuring your next subject. Your students will be excited to see what they get to learn about next.
Using Wall Decals to Enforce Safety
Wall decals can also help reinforce the safety rules of the classroom. If you have a chemistry lab and sometimes work with dangerous chemicals, display various safety sign wall decals around the lab. Wall Monkeys' decals not only stick well to walls, but also cabinets, doors, and practically any smooth, non-porous surface. To really get the message about safety across, place a caution sign on the cabinet where you keep your acids and other hazardous chemicals. If you instead teach biology, put up a biohazard symbol near where you discard your materials after a dissection lesson. If you’re working with materials that are truly dangerous, wall decals can emphasize how careful the students need to be.
Wall Decals as a Classroom Aesthetic
Finally, if you teach astronomy, what a better way to inspire students than putting up wall murals featuring beautiful images of outer space. Decorate your classroom with large murals of star clusters, nebulae, and the solar system. These breathtaking images will give a visual component to what you are currently teaching, and will also make your classroom more fun for the students. They’ll love being surrounded by pictures of space as they study the universe.
Wall decals from Wall Monkeys will make your science classroom memorable to students. Encourage them to learn, study hard, and most importantly enjoy science using the aid of peel and stick wall decals. If you have an image or diagram that you designed yourself, Wall Monkeys can also print custom decals to give your classroom a personal touch. Wall decals make a great addition to any type of classroom.
