• Hands-on activities create a level of student buy-in. There’s motivation to learn and grow now that the student has enjoyed a learning activity.
• Experiments allow for a great classroom discussion, problem-solving, and interactions between students and teacher.
• Hands-on activities will also allow students to be social. This will be a great relationship building activity for students.
