18. In Laboratory method, one of its types is Observational type. If I am a teacher using this method, I will do the following EXCEPT
a. Bringing the students to the museum so that they can actually see artifacts belonging to the past;
b. Sending the students to different communities for their immersion so that they can experience peoples way of living;
c. Conducting experiments at the laboratory and understand why matter behaves differently in varied circumstances;

Love is a human energy that emanates from within, nurturing ones human dignity and extending to nurture that of others.
