WHY USE DISCOVER EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING?
Transforming scientific learning into real-world results
If one reviews the literature and research on thinking and learning it becomes apparent that if the focus is upon having the learner be actively engaged in the process of understanding in depth, experiential education is the way to go.

- I see, and I remember
- I do, and I understand.

Research says- We retain in our memory only
Only 10% Retained From Reading
Traditional learning through reading leaves much behind. That’s why we go beyond textbooks to make learning unforgettable.
30% of What We See Is Retained
Visual learning enhances engagement. Our science models, charts, and demonstrations help embed core ideas visually.
50% When Seeing & Hearing Together
Combining visuals with discussion or audio explanations doubles retention — we design sessions to do exactly that.
70% Through Group Discussions
Students learn more when they share ideas. We encourage team-based learning and peer-led problem-solving.
80% Retention Through Hands-On Experience
When learners touch, build, and experiment, they remember. Our kits and live experiments make science real and relatable.
95% When Teaching Others
We empower students to become peer educators — because the best way to master something is to teach it.
If your goal is to teach information (information transfer), telling the person, or having them read the information works well. Sometimes watching a video about what is to be learned works well too, (as suggested by the proverb above).
If, on the other hand, your goal is to have the person understand the concept at a level that they can generalize and apply the understanding to new situations, or combine the understanding with other concepts they have learned, experiential education is probably the best way to develop that level of mastery.
