Bioscience + MooreCo's Thrive Philosophy

How do bioscience courses meet the
developmental needs of CTE students?

Bioscience programs foster a love of science and discovery and introduce students to skills required for a successful career in healthcare. On the technical front, students are immersed in the fascinating world of biology, providing them with hands-on experience in laboratory techniques, data analysis, and scientific inquiry. In addition to studying the human body, diseases, and treatments, students work on communication skills and teamwork to better engage future patients.

A comprehensive knowledge of the human body develops a strong understanding of the human experience and fosters a profound appreciation for its complexities. Students experience empathy and ethical responsibility which can lead to more successful interpersonal relationships at work or home.

How does MooreCo outfit a bioscience classroom to meet the developmental needs of students?

MooreCo products create a classroom atmosphere that promotes interaction and leads to productive collaboration, inquiry, and exploration. Mobile tables and chairs support active, hands-on learning and lecture teaching. Plentiful storage options keep materials organized and work areas clutter free. Furnishings that support specialized lab equipment are versatile and adaptable to accommodate the industry’s rapidly changing needs.

 

The Compass Makerspace Tables are perfect for a lab setting. They provide ample workspace, are durable, and easy to clean. Casters allow for easy reconfiguration depending on group size or project. Add steel pegboard side panels too keep supplies handy and items sanitary and off the ground.

The height-adjustable, ergonomic Hierarchy Grow Stool® allows active lab students to lean, turn, and stand. Micro-movements are proven to increase focus and concentration. The compact stool easily stores under the table as needed.

Provide instructors with the space they need to plan, meet with students, and securely store important information and supplies with the Avid Modular Desk System. The flexible, customizable design makes creating the ideal workspace for a lab moderator a breeze. 

Pair with the Elate Task Chair for a fully adjustable, ergonomic seating solution. This fully adjustable, intuitive chair is features a revolutionary weight-sensitive tilt mechanism, allowing it to sense each user's body weight and recline accordingly.

Science- and math-based disciplines need ample space to visualize, demonstrate, and decipher formulas and equations. The Horizontal Sliding Board saves wall space and adds more functional board surface by providing several panels to allow students to work on problems with pre-set information.

Durable, flexible storage is a must in a lab setting. Compass Cabinets is storage done right! Available in three height and width. Fully customizable, choose interior shelves, cubbies, or tub drawers. Add locking doors for security, casters to take supplies on the go, and a table top for added workspace.
