Brainstorming process is developed by Alex F. Osborn. It is the oldest and best-known technique for stimulating creative thinking. It is the most fruitful exercise to solve complex and critical problems.

• In Brainstorming, many creative minds work together and apply their diverse thinking patterns to achieve the same learning goals. Ideas are generated spontaneously by the learners.
• It is a democratic technique of teaching in which the student is the active role player. The teacher gives one problem or topic to the entire class and allots time.
• Within the given time, the student must create ideas. The role of the teacher in this method is just to consider all the ideas and arise on conclusions based on the healthy discussion.
• It provides more ideas and views to the child as in this process thought arising in the mind of the learner is noted down for further discussion and use.
• It helps to achieve the higher order of cognitive objectives as it just demands the active participation of the child in the learning process by making them think and note the ideas in their own style. 

Hence, it could be concluded that all of the above statements are true about brainstorming.

In statistics, a frequency distribution is a list, table or graph that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample

Calculation:

• The teacher may need to do preparations in advance
• You may not be able to have every child do the experiment, you may need to involve many children as observers
• While several experiments can be done by children in the classroom/at home, some experiments may require equipments and/or laboratory facilities
