SAT English Practice Question
Many people believe that the best way to understand a new idea is to read about it in a book or article. However, scientists have found that learning by doing can be more effective than learning by reading. This is because learning by doing allows people to experience the idea firsthand, which can help them to understand it more deeply. For example, a student who learns about the human body by reading a textbook may not understand the complex interactions of the different systems as well as a student who dissects a frog. What is the main point of the passage?
