AIM is not an extension of the
regular day classroom
Why we do what we do?
“When students find joy in their creative outlets, there
is a positive carryover to school in general. Emotion,
interest, and motivation promote learning and
memory. Brain research shows the brain produces at
least three pleasure chemicals when joy is present;
endomorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These
chemicals account for the emotional states
produced by self-satisfaction, positive self-image,
passion for one’s art and joy in learning.”

Hands on Learning
Academics Inspiring
Minds
 Hands-on learning is learning by doing. To
even imply that it is a fad is to ignore what
has been taking place in education, both
formal and informal, for years. Vocational
education has always understood that if
you want someone to learn to repair an
automobile, you need an automobile to
repair. If you want to teach someone to
cook, you put them in a kitchen. Whoever
heard of teaching someone to swim in a
traditional classroom? Likewise, I do
believe we are learning that in order to
truly teach science, we must "do" science.
Jeff G. Brodie, fifth and sixth grade teacher, East Side Elementary, Edinburgh, IN
Hands on Learning
Hands-on learning is not
just a fad because it
enables students to
become critical thinkers,
able to apply not only
what they have learned,
but more importantly, the
process of learning, to
various life situations.

teacher,
St. Mary's Elementary School, Sandusky, OH
 "Effective learning in the
Motivating
Students
classroom depends on the
teacher's ability ... to maintain the
interest that brought students to
the course in the first place"
(Ericksen, 1978, p. 3). Whatever
level of motivation your students
bring to the classroom will be
transformed, for better or worse,
by what happens in that
classroom.

predicated on the belief that a program for
elementary children should be based on
the method children instinctively employ to
make sense of the world around them.
Sometimes subjects must be experienced
to be understood. These experiences
should allow students to be actively
engaged in the manipulation of everyday
objects and materials from the real world.
Children are by nature observers and
explorers, and the most effective approach
to learning should capitalize on these
intrinsic abilities" (Shaply & Luttrell, 1993, p. 1).
