Are you surprised by your results? Why or why not? I am not surprised that I am a visual learner. I enjoy learning by looking at pictures, diagrams and science movies. I love the History and Discovery Channel. When I look at a visual image of something I can usually memorize its dimensions and how it is put together. I also love logical puzzles and mystery shows. I try to solve the CSI crime before the show does. I am also an amateur woodworker and love to build things with my hands. That would explain why I am a kinesthetic learner.
Give at least one example of how you have experienced your strengths in another science class. (If not in a science class, then where?) I identify with being a visual learner. When I was in tenth grade I took an Advance Biology class. We had an assignment to dissect a cat. We spent about two months studying the cat and its various parts. Two years ago as a teacher, I stopped into another class while they were dissecting cats and I still remembered all of the procedures and parts of the cat. I could visualize myself back in school doing the work myself.
