Students can be taught the concept of photosynthesis by distinguishing the characteristics of the same plant by keeping it under sunlight and in the dark for a few days.

Future Skills

So, it is very important for the student from the very beginning to learn about computers. Knowing computers from the very beginning of childhood will help the student to learn “coding” later.

DIY: DIY is Do It Yourself. Only feeding with a spoon will not work. We should leave students to let them explore themselves, to let them do something related to studies like practicals or different activities. This gives them a clear idea about the topic they are studying.

IoT: IoT or the Internet of Things refers to the different wireless devices meant for collecting or sharing information. It includes today’s smartphones, tablets, smartboards, biochips, and different applications used. IoT helps students to learn and understand different subject topics properly. IoT makes education more collaborative and interactive.
