text: Despite the beliefs of students, it has been proven that physical work such as worksheets increase the rate at which they grasp the source material. A student may believe they understand what has been taught but can receive the worksheet and realize they don't fully understand. Projects allow the class to flex their creative muscles and show the teacher something of their very own. Science labs allow for a hands-on approach that puts the lesson in a different perspective. Simply laying in bed at home doing online assignments simply cannot have the same effect.
