text: Actions often speak louder than words, and in some subjects that is often the case. Learning about pressure and how it affects molecules in Chemistry and then getting to put in effect often helps cement what the student just learned about in their minds. It's this kind of hands on learning that the online learning is taking away. Often times students will be more likely to remember something if they see it in action and are able to put it into effect, than just hearing about the subject. Teachers implement these activities and labs for this precise reason, to give students a break from hearing them speak and to get up, move around, and implement what they just learned! Students using the online method do not have the chance to do these activities. They would have to be content with just learning about the subject. Take, for example, a subject like Chemistry as I mentioned before. In Chemistry there are loads of examples of labs that students will to, such as labs with dry ice or butane gas, showing laws of partial pressure or states of matter. All of which done in a classroom setting, not something you could do while looking at a screen.
