 Using inquiry to teach science lesson.

- Most of the times the teacher use the 5Es in her lessons.

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.
