“Learning is most successful when it involves only a limited amount of stress when students are relaxed and confident and enjoying their learning; but the use of correction encourages exactly the opposite condition.”

"关于漫画式地教导科学，有一系列的漫画科学书，叫科学的世界 (World of Science)。关于科学这个世界里面的种种现象，它是以亲子的形式，新加坡家庭的小孩子的日常生活或者出去旅游，从中学习到的科学知识科学实验以及原理。主持人说，听起来很贴近生活，无论是家长或者是小朋友都会找到同感，'这个和我一样，我平时也是这么做的'。就容易激发他们对科学的兴趣."
(Regarding teaching science using comics, there is a series of comic books called The World of Science. It uses various phenomena in the world to bring out science concepts. It is useful for parent-child learning. It brings out science observed in daily life or travel. It is easy to stimulate children's interest in science using these daily observations.)
