The Importance of Hands-On Learning

Hands-on learning increases lesson retention by nearly 85%. Field trips not only provide opportunities for learning to be applied to real life but also provide many instances of learning by doing. Whether you are 5 or 55, you’ll remember your field trip experience and apply the hands-on learning to your life!
