Visual Learners

These students learn best by observation. Visual learners prefer images, videos, and graphics to process information.
​
Most Effective Teaching Methods:
  • Demonstrations
  • Graphs
  • Charts
  • YouTube Videos (the SciShow is a great science educational YouTube Channel)
  • Creative Projects​

Reading/Writing Learners

Those students who enjoy reading and writing likely fall into this category; they can analyze and express critical ideas through writing to gain a more thorough understanding. While many activities may inherently cater to this group, they will likely prefer written instructions during activities that are hands-on.
​
Most Effective Teaching Methods:
  • Worksheets
  • Books
  • Scientific Observation Journals (see how you can create one)

Auditory Learners

Listening and sound are the best reinforcement for those auditorily inclined. Those who are auditory learners prefer explanations above all else; a lecture is likely to be most effective here rather than reading off a document. Conversation and combining sounds into activities are critical to their success.
​
Most Effective Teaching Methods:
  • Stories
  • Lectures
  • Podcasts (A comprehensive list of engaging science podcasts for kids)
  • Songs

Kinesthetic Learners

For kinesthetic learners, doing is everything; when given the chance to work hands-on, they will gladly jump at the chance. Using all their senses in conjunction with the information given, this group of people need experimenting and interaction with the physical applications of ideas to gain a better grasp.

​
Most Effective Teaching Methods:
  • Hands-on demonstrations & projects
  • Educational Kits (solar4STEM kits are a great resource)
  • Experiments (the classic “egg-drop challenge” is a great way to teach physics)
​Appeal to all three learning styles with Artfire’s fun role playing experiment:

Lesson Idea: Role-Playing in STEM
​

For this lesson, split your students into groups and ask them to imagine themselves on a new planet. Hand out oobleck (a non-Newtonian fluid) and tell them that the planet is covered with this substance. Get their curiosity going by asking them questions such as the following:
​
  • What are the physical properties of the substance? Why is it interesting?
  • What could the substance be useful for?
  • What problems could it present to future astronauts?

Have them write down their findings and don’t reveal any clues until the end. You might be surprised at some of the fascinating ideas they come up with.
