Audio learners: hear and listen to gain the knowledge
Kinesthetic learner: use physical skills to do an activity.
Verbal-linguistic learner: use words to show and learn the knowledge.
Intrapersonal learner: have an activity that students can work individually and demonstrate their ideas in the way they
