method and methods of data analysis so that they will have some idea
of the inductive process by which the ideas were originated.
 For motivating the students to learn scientific facts, theories etc
 It encourages deeper understanding in children
 When they observe various things and carry out different experiments,
their reasoning skills are honed and they start thinking deeply on those
theories and concepts
 They get a first-hand learning experience by performing various
experiments on their own
“ Effective teaching and learning of science involves seeing, handling,
and manipulating real objects and materials. “
