Science Classroom / Lab display Ideas

(13)
I've included some photos of lab displays I've put up over the years, hopefully they will help anyone who's looking for a bit of inspiration. I'm also toying around with the idea of writing a book on classroom displays. If anyone can make any suggestions on what to include that would be useful I would be appreciative.
