In her book, Hands-On Science and Math: Fun, Fascinating Activities for Young Children, Beth R. Davis writes: "In my research, published by Florida International University (in a book edited by Jill Farrell and Robert Vos), I found that children exposed to hands-on science instruction gain greater subject-matter understanding than students exposed to only book learning or traditional worksheets. When I doubled the amount of hands-on instruction given to the lowest-performing student population in an at-risk class at a Florida elementary school, these children showed the highest gains when compared with ten other classes made up of average and above-average students in the same elementary school."
