1.Text books
The prescribed texts books of studies for particular classes in a school have been the other very useful tool in the hands of the teacher for centuries whereby a teacher uses the text book to read and explain to the students everything contained in the text book lessons. The teacher asks the students to mark or underline important ideas appearing in the lessons and the difficult words or the concepts which the students may fail to grasp easily. While using the textbook, sometimes the teachers move away from the subject to tell the students anecdotes, stories or personal experiences concerned with the topic in the textbook that is being taught to the students.

2.Charts, Pictures and Posters
-For easy understanding of the lessons, the teachers use teaching aids like the charts,pictures and posters which they display in the walls of the classrooms.
- These not only decorate the walls of the classrooms but also are important tool for teaching in the classrooms.

3.Maps, Atlases and globes
- The lessons in geography becomes realistic when the teachers use wall maps, atlases and globes to make the student understand and know various geographical concepts and to know the locations of various places in the world.

these also serve as natural teaching aids.
Flashcards, flip cards and worksheets

these worksheets.

- Visit to science museums, planetariums; zoological parks and places of scientific importance will serve as very good teaching aids to the students.
