So many times we have walked into our classroom and students have said the lights were to bright or they were getting a headache due to our new lighting. We have 12 fluorescent lights, with three tubes in each one, on our ceilings and even with flipping on one switch instead of the two the lights are still bright and straining. Students should be able to have a calming classroom and this will help create that comfortable setting for them. The more the students are comfortable, the more students are confident in their working environment. We also are in need a of a new table for experiments and a set of markers to help with labeling.
