IA's are now over and I've tidied up the room. It was an interesting experiment and some of the best investigations I have ever seen. I'm not sure how much was due to the mess but it did seemed to encourage creativity. Students travelled all the way over from the ESS lab to have a look at what was going on in the cool physics lab.To come to think about it the lab somewhat resembled the art room and that's a pretty creative place, can't say that the empty table inspires much creativity in me.
