This type of hands on education is essential at all levels and is necessary for children to develop their interest in science related fields. What a terrible thing if this learning opportunity gets taken away aand replaced with something less hands on- like test prep!

A great STEM curriculum is extremely important not just for STEM careers, but for problem-solving in general.

Some things you need to experience hands on before you can fully understand them. Science labs are an essential part of the education, not just a fun experience! You cannot teach P.E. online either

science labs are one of the best tools to transform a concept into a reality that the child can interact to, making the learning process through and complete.

STEM education not only increases a child's understanding of the world around them, but also develops critical thinking skills necessary for problem solving. It is vital that we provide our children with this opportunity.

There are a plethora of benefits that teachers and curriculum developers adduce to hands-on learning to justify the approach in science. Benefits for students are believed to include increased learning; increased motivation to learn; increased enjoyment of learning; increased skill proficiency, including communication skills; increased independent thinking and decision making based on direct evidence and experiences; and increased perception and creativity. Research supports many of these claims by providing evidence that the learning of various skills, science content, and mathematics are enhanced through hands-on science programs. Students in activity-based programs have exhibited increases in creativity, positive attitudes toward science, perception, logic development, communication skills, and reading readiness. These benefits seem more than sufficient justification for promoting hands-on learning.(David L. Haury and Peter Rillero, 1994)
