Hands-on activities increase student engagement and understanding of scientific concepts. Hands-on activities can connect to inquiry-based learning, where students ask questions and investigate them. Students of Grade VI visited the laboratory during their Science period to understand the process of distillation and its importance. They observed the Liebig condenser and its utilization in the process of distillation. The students were able to analyze that the basic principle behind the distillation process is that different liquids boil at different temperatures. They observed that when a mixture is heated, the substance with a lower boiling point starts to boil first and convert into vapours which can be then collected separately. The activity fostered observation and critical thinking skills among the learners.
