The impact of Hands on Minds on activities on student learning ( Hands on activities promote student engagement. However that does not mean that students are learning? The hands- on mInds-on approach blends hands on activities with reflective observation. I investigated the impact of hands-on minds-on activities on the science learning of 5th grade students. Doing science, as opposed to simply hearing or reading about it, engages students and allows them to test their own ideas and build their own understanding (Ewers, 2001). Participants included 18 5th graders, 16 face to face and 2 online students. ); Olaide Ajakaye, Cedar Hill ISD. K-12 Science.
