...it is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to my students.

...learns the same way as anyone else. We can make general methods to teach many students a bit, but to really learn something, the learning process has to become more personal.
