We are all taught so many things at school, both boring and interesting stuff that is meant to help us understand the world around us better. But, how many of us could understand what the teachers taught us right away? Or sometimes even after a few repeated explanations? We would have found it much easier to understand what we were taught if we saw it in action, with visual demonstrations.

So, we have found some cool things in the form of GIFs and images that will help you visualize and understand better the things that might have eluded you at school.
