However, the students felt lessprepared to conduct specific laboratory procedures and methods. One said that the proposal wasnot as detailed as she was now realizing would be needed to complete her project; several othersagreed that their big questions had to do with lab procedures, use of equipment, and similarpractical concerns. The students also said they were confident that they would receive thesupport needed to work through those issues

Furthermore,the experiment gave all the students a better understanding of how to operate both a wind tunneland a multi-manometer. Many students stressed that the visual aspect of the multi-manometerwas aesthetically pleasing and gave them a greater interest in the subject matter. Overall, thestudents were grateful for the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and compare real-worlddata to their computer-simulated data.

The use of modelsas a form of experience to teach ideas, whether theoretical or design, can serve as a conceptualbridge between life situations which aids creativity, problem solving, decision making, andscientific research (11).The theory put forward by Kolb has been implemented in various ways, with varying degrees ofsuccess. Laboratory education has been found to benefit significantly from the application ofKolb’s cycle, including hands-on activities and pre- and post-lab tests to prepare and consolidatethe knowledge of the students (12).
