text: Another way distance learning isn't beneficial to students is that it provides no hands-on-learning activities. Hands-on-learning is an effective way of learning which makes lessons and concepts a lot more memorable. It's also necessary for science labs and projects. Last year in my AP Biology class, we frequently did labs, which helped me learn the material a lot better than the lectures did. An example would be when we dissected an embryo of a pig, in which I was able to gain a better understanding of anatomy and parts of the body. Group projects also widened my understanding of topics in other classes as well. When we had to use a three dimensional printer to copy the outline of a roman column, a type of architecture, I was able to better understand the designs and features involved in the creation of this type of structure. Online classes wouldn't be able to provide the same opportunity because it would be impossible to perform regulated science labs and complex projects in a household setting. Many students find hands-on-learning activities to be more compelling and memorable than lectures and notes. Due to the inability of distance learning to provide hands-on-learning, it's an ineffective form of education which won't serve as a benefit for students.
