Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience
It arranges experiences from the most concrete (direct, purposeful experience) at the base to the most abstract (verbal symbols) at the top. Direct experiences make learning more lasting.

An aid should be relevant, visible to all, simple and used at the right moment, not as decoration.
