Multiple Intelligences Lesson Plan

Use the outline below to plan a lesson that includes all of the multiple intelligences:

For each intelligence listed, explain why your particular activity in the plans meets that criterion.

Age/Grade Level: Kindergarten

Lesson Theme/Concept: Planting seeds and germination

Logical‐Mathematical: How can I use numbers, lists, classifications, logic, and scientific inquiry?

● For logical/ mathematical the children will make charts and be given different

classifications of fruits and vegetables and will glue the seeds in the columns with the

words headed.

● How many seeds per cup for planting.

● The number of days that it takes for the seeds to germinate.

● How many inches apart the seeds need if planted in the garden. Use a yardstick to

visualize space on the floor.

● Discuss the elements (water, soil, and sun) that the seeds need to grow.

● How many seeds in different fruits (one or many)

Linguistic: How can I use language (stories, poems, readers theater)?

● Read the book “How a Seed Grows” by Helene J. Jordan.

● Let the children predict and discuss the pictures in the book.

● Make emphasis on the words that include the materials that will be using for the lesson.

● Have the keywords printed and laminated as flashcards.

● Have the keywords printed in the native languages in the class and have the DLL

students pronounce the words for the class.

Interpersonal: How can I use partners or cooperative group activities?

● The first groups will be in a partner pairs for filling the cups and planting the seeds. This

will help eliminate a lot of confusion and begin the social interactions between the

children. This will help them be more independent if there is only one teacher available.,

● After planting the seeds the student will group in 3 or fours to become a bigger social

network for the project.

● Pick partners by contrasting intelligence characteristics.

● Give the children the opportunity to discuss what they are doing between themselves

and make decisions on how to execute their project.

Spatial: How can I use visualization, art, colors, or metaphors?

● Let the children use the camera to take pictures of the process of their seeds.

● Bring different fruits that contain seeds (mango, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries) and find

where the seeds are on the fruit. (This is also opts for kinesthetic activity as well.

Discuss the different textures, tastes, and smells.

● Have a display of plastic bugs to explain the relationship of the bugs to plants.

● Let children create a painting of what they think their seed will look like when it grows.

● Programs with matching games that involve seeds on the computer.

Intrapersonal: How can I provide choices or involve personal memories or feelings?

● Have the children to write in their class journals at least two sentences about their seeds

until they have sprouted.

● Let them be involved with how the final class journal will be made (helping choose the

pictures, titles, etc.)

● Have other reading materials available such as “Sid the Seed” by Daniel R. Pagan for

children who want more information.

● Have books in multicultural prints about gardening.

Musical: How can I use music, rhythm, songs, raps, chants, or instruments?

● Video: “The Planting Song ; Earth Day Song for Children” Mother Goose Club

Bodily‐Kinesthetic: How can I use movement or hands‐on activities?

● Planting seeds to manipulate fine motor skills.

● Use the musical song and let the kids act out the movements of working in a garden.

● Using imaginary tools.

● Making up body movements as they go.

Naturalistic: How can I incorporate outdoor activities into the curriculum?

● Take children out to see other things growing (the flowers in the landscape, trees, along

a fence).

● Make note of the different insects attracted to them.

● Try to find tree seeds to show the differences in seeds.
