classroom experiments
Hands-on student learning
Classroom experiments are hands-on activities conducted in educational settings to demonstrate scientific principles or test hypotheses.
Unlike laboratory research, their primary purpose is pedagogical—helping students understand concepts through direct observation and participation: The classroom experiment with vinegar and baking soda taught the kids about chemical reactions.
The term also applies to experimental teaching methods tried within a class.
