Pictures, Play or Practicals?

Just came across this wonderful blog on science explanations.

We always said - A picture is worth thousand words...How true!

And what is a moving picture worth?

I do not know the author of this blog. But credit to the person for explaining things pictorially.

Complicated Mechanisms in pictures

As I continued my search, I came across this site for kids.
Here you find toys that help children learn science in a very different way - By feeling it!
How about that?
Science through toys


Then we have the lab experiments...the college and school stuff.
Science through practicals

Now - what's better?
Answer - depends on the background of the person, age and purpose!
