Science lab experiments promote the development of scientific thinking in students. Rather than making the kids memorize the facts, they are made to think and understand things and the world around them. Science lab experiments allow students to ask questions, probe for answers, conduct investigations, and collect data. They are engaged in the investigative nature of scientific learning. Children in fact do science in science labs than simply learning science through textbooks in classrooms.

Science experiments promote discovery and learning. Discovering new ideas is an integral part of learning science. It is something that teachers can’t give to students. Students themselves have to discover new ideas and concepts during their search for knowledge. In science school lab, children conduct experiments. They adopt alternatives, try to work out things in different areas and understand what works and what didn’t really work. Many a times, children work on wrong ideas. But it’s only when they work on the wrong ideas that they understand the real ideas in a much better manner.
