Task 4

The document discusses resources and activities for teaching science concepts to young children using different learning styles. It provides examples of how sand, magnifying glasses, and plants can be used to develop skills through exploration and experimentation. The teacher uses the 5E instructional model and incorporates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities like songs, videos, and hands-on exploration to engage students with varying learning preferences when teaching about topics like weather and plants. Incorporating multiple learning styles can improve student understanding by appealing to their individual ways of learning.

- Most of the times the teacher use the 5Es in her lessons.
There was a science lesson that I saw was about the
weather. To engage them the teacher put for them a song
about the weather, she give them some time to explore
things about the weather then they explain to hear what did
they do and what did they figure out. Then she elaborate
them by talking about the weather and what do they wear in

Answer the following questions:

Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?
Kinesthetic, because its include touch, move, explore and thats dont make them
feel bored or sleepy.

Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for the
children?
Because all of the children had different ways to understand things, so the
teacher use many ways to deliver the information to all the students.

Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g. read a
story, listen to a story, act the story, draw the story. Can you find other examples
e.g. math or science
Using Counting math, they count all the time. The teacher count when its time
to set on the matt, when they do there 100 exercise, while ordering things, they
count the children that they want to eat, play, wash their hands and see which
one has more than they do it.

How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of learning styles?
Using different learning styles, apply all the 5Es if they can.
