Miscellaneous Charts For School Walls

Quick Answer: Miscellaneous Charts is a mixed range of school wall charts on topics that do not belong to one subject series, such as portraits of famous scientists and mathematicians. Schools choose individual titles to fill gaps in classrooms, laboratories, libraries and corridors.

Single Titles That Fill the Gaps

Every school chart range has sheets that stand alone, and a miscellaneous series gathers them. The product photograph for this listing shows one example, a portrait chart of Sir Isaac Newton. Portrait charts of this kind put a face and a short biography to names students meet in their textbooks, and they are popular in science labs, maths rooms and libraries.

A Newton portrait, for instance, can open a lesson on the three laws of motion, universal gravitation or the splitting of white light by a prism, and it reminds older students that he also developed calculus, independently of Gottfried Leibniz. The same approach works with the other scientists and mathematicians named in the syllabus, from Archimedes to C. V. Raman and Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Because miscellaneous charts change between editions, schools usually pick titles one by one rather than buying a fixed set.

Applications

Portrait walls of scientists and mathematicians in labs and libraries
Opening a topic with the person who made the discovery
Filling a gap in a subject display with a single relevant sheet
Exhibitions for National Science Day and National Mathematics Day

Care & Handling

Frame or sleeve miscellaneous charts that hang in corridors, where bags and hands brush past them all day.
Hang each portrait near the topic it relates to, for example Newton beside the mechanics display.
Keep a list of the titles you hold so that worn sheets can be replaced with the same chart.

Why Choose LabEquip

Schools often add a miscellaneous title to complete a subject wall, such as a portrait beside the Physics (I) Charts. The full list sits under Educational Charts, and the LabEquip contact page can tell you which single titles are currently available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of charts are in a miscellaneous series?

Charts that do not fit a subject set, such as portraits of scientists and mathematicians and other single-topic sheets. Titles vary between editions, so share the topics you need when you enquire and LabEquip will confirm what is available.

Why use portrait charts of scientists in a classroom?

They connect ideas with people and history. Knowing that a discovery was made by a real person, often after years of work and failed attempts, helps students see science as a human activity.

What is Isaac Newton remembered for?

His three laws of motion and law of universal gravitation, published in the Principia in 1687, his experiments showing that white light is made up of colours, the reflecting telescope he built, and his work on calculus.

Did Newton invent calculus alone?

No. Newton and the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz developed calculus independently in the late seventeenth century. Much of the notation used in schools today, such as dy/dx and the integral sign, comes from Leibniz.

Which days suit a scientists’ portrait display?

National Science Day on 28 February marks C. V. Raman’s discovery of the Raman effect, and National Mathematics Day on 22 December marks the birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Both are good occasions for a portrait display.

Where should portrait charts be displayed?

Near the subject they relate to: physicists in the physics lab, mathematicians in the maths room, and a mixed set in the library or a corridor that students from every class pass through.
