Students encounter working systems in their daily lives. They see them but do not see how nor why they work. With some guidance & experience, & some systems, students can develop insight into how things work in terms of energy in, energy out, gravity & other forces, as well as how the system (device) orchestrates to do what it does. The experience gained from using simple devices & learning to analyse how they work is invaluable in sparking interest in science, school & the world. Using devices not only enhances learning but also acts in a therapeutic role. It is relief from the standard passive learning methods, allows for a more interactive approach to learning & promotes the joy of learning.
