Howard Gardner speaks briefly about his Multiple Intelligences theory. (Note: Ability to access YouTube is necessary to view this clip.)

 “The ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems.” (Brualdi, 1996)  Sensitivity to color, line, shape, form, space, and the relationships that exist between these elements. (Armstrong, 1994)

I’ll take care of the class pet! I’d love to start a rock collection!  A person "who demonstrates expertise in recognition and classification of the numerous species - the flora and fauna - of her or his environment.” (Gardner, 1998)

 A person who has a high level of intelligence in visual-spatial reasoning would most likely enjoy working on which of the following projects: ◦ a. Song composing a. Song composing ◦ b. Rock collection b. Rock collection ◦ c. 3-D model of the solar system c. 3-D model of the solar system ◦ d. Scavenger hunt d. Scavenger hunt
