Hello! Welcome to the Honors Biology Blog!
Your first blog assignment is to go to the following website:
http://www.bgfl.org/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/what.cfm
Please read about the different learning styles then click "take a test." The test will ask you about your learning preferences. When the test is done, I would like you to print your results from the computer or draw the visual representation. You should bring this to class with you on Thurs 9/13.
After you get the image, I'd like you to discuss the following in a blog post:
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
***If you are unsure what it means to be a certain learning style, look it up. For example, if you don't know what it means to be a kinesthetic learner, look it up and figure it out. ***
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteNumber smart, oddly enough. However it was very close to Interpersonal, Kinesthetic, Visual/spacial and Musical. There was no clear number 1.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
Naturalistic.
How can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
By always making the topic interesting. Use good - effective examples and activities that actually tie in really well with the topic (Helping us to
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how canunderstand rather than being distracted by them). I have never thought I was particularly good in Logic - I pictured myself doing well in Linguistic so the results surprised me. -Edie
What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
DeleteIntrapersonal smart. it was close with Visual/Spacial and that was just about tied with Kinaesthetic. Seems like i'm pretty mixed.
What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
Logical. I'm pretty good at math, although I've never enjoyed it.
How can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
By giving independent work. I like to just work myself because then I can do what I want instead of having to consult with other people(s). Don't use lots of math, even though science includes lots of math, just don't make it complex
i completed the test, and my strongest learning style is visual/spiritual i am not supprised by this. My weakest learning style linguistic(word smart)i am not surprised because i do not enjoy reading in my free time. we can both use this infromation to help me by doing lots of labs and hands on activitys, no independent reading.
ReplyDelete-Nico
I did the test and my strongest learning style was interpersonal which was a little surprising because i am not usually a people person although i do like people. My weakest learning style was intrapersonal which did not surprise me at all because i do not know myself very well at all. This information can be used to help me do labs and lots of fun hands on activities. I also agree with nico(above) and hope there will be not much reading.
ReplyDelete-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteIntrapersonal- i did not find this surprising at all. I have always had a clear self vision.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
my weakest learning style was logical, which again did not surprise me. I hate math.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
it means that i work best when i have the chance to work on my own (as long as there is no math involved).
Strongest subject- interpersonal ( people smart)
ReplyDeleteWeakest subject- musical
This means that working in groups will let me use my ability with people smarts witch should according to the test result in better grades the test also said that i am a good visual learner so watchin videos will help me. This is James Guid
Strong subject- Musical. I love music!
ReplyDeleteWeakest subject- Intrapersonal. Surprisingly, I don't agree. I believe I work well alone and that I know myself very well.
I also have a high Interpersonal and Visual score. THis means that I will work well in groups, and presentations and videos help me to learn as well.
strongest subject: musical
ReplyDeleteweakest subject: Linguistic
I don't really agree with this. I believe that i am more of a visual, hand-on learner. I tend to not work well with reading and listening to others talk. Doing labs also helps.
Strongest subject: Visual/Spatial(Picture Smart)
ReplyDeleteWeakest subject:Linguistic (word smart)
This means that I work best in groups with hands on activity and it should insure my success in biology this year because the learning styles I got are the ones i actually do the best

-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style according the test was a three-way tie between Intrapersonal, musical, and Linguistic. For the most part, this makes sense to me. I'm good at figuring out problems/working/thinking by myself and I usually enjoy writing.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style by far was Naturalistic, which kind of makes sense. But plants and animals do interest me sometimes, so I wouldn't necessarily say I'm bad at learning naturalistically.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
I got high scores in almost all categories and so I'd say I'm a good learner no matter what technique. I also enjoy the challenge of learning different ways so I don't think sticking to one particular style would be the best plan for me. Changing up how we learn things in Biology would be the best way to maximize my success.
-Scott Partington per. 3/4

ReplyDelete-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style was interpersonal. I actually thought that this was the result I was going to get, I personally believe that I am great with other people. Also, I got a high score in linguistic. This result makes sense to me too, I love to read and write.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
I scored ridiculously low in both the visual/spatial and musical categories. I agree that I do not learn very well by looking and pictures or graphs though I thought I would receive a higher score in the musical section.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
I truly believe that I learn best while working and sharing ideas with others. In terms of biology, this means I would learn best working with classmates to complete labs instead of studying silent alone. Overall though, as long as we stay away from musical instruments, I am able to learn a topic no matter what form it is presented in.
-Scott Williams Period 1/2
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style was Naturalistic followed very closely by Kinaesthetic. This does not surprise me at all because I spend a lot of my time outside playing sports or camping/hiking, all of which I enjoy very much.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest style of learning is musical which is exactly what I expected because although I play an instrument I do not enjoy playing or thinking about music at all.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
This means that I should try to do as many hands on things (such as labs) as I can and go outside to do things If possible.
Jake B-H
-What is your strongest learning style?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style according to the test was Interpersonal.this makes a lot of sense because i get along with others,i am considered a leader,i like to be in social settings,i help others with their problems,i'm not afraid to share my opinion, and i have always been good at reading body language.These are all characteristics of someone who is interpersonal smart.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style according to the test was naturalistic, or "nature smart". some one who is nature smart thrives in nature,enjoys hobbies like bird watching, and remembers things like plant names. Even though i like nature and being outside it would not be my first option to go bird watching. i also would not say that i thrive in this environment. I understand why this was my weak point.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
This information shows that i work really well in a group setting,which will help with labs (leading the group). I learn best when i'm hands on and involved.I think that interactive learning would be key to my success this year in Biology.
-Kassidy Austin period 3/4
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style according to the test was intrapersonal (Myself Smart). I find this true because I do a lot of working by myself instead of working with other people I find it easier to work by myself.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style is naturalistic (nature smart)close to Visual/Spatial (picture smart) I kind of agree with this because I really don't like to learn outside unless it's about sports and playing.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
This means we can work by yourself or with one more person in a small group. Outside labs will kind of not be good nut I can try to work on it.
- Elena Thomas
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test? kinaesthetic
ReplyDelete-What is your weakest learning style according to the test? Linguistic
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
I agree with this test, but even though kinaesthetic was the one that was chosen as my best musical logical interpersonal and visual learning were all very close. I think I can handle any type of learning and I cant wait for this year.
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test? According to the test my strongest learning style is interpersonal, or people smart. This was not at all what I was expecting. I am not usually good at explaining things, and I'm not very out-spoken. I can read body language well though, and I like social events.
ReplyDelete-What is your weakest learning style according to the test? My weakest learning styles are intrapersonal and visual. I thought these would be my strongest, because I am good at art, and I learn well through pictures. I also thought intrapersonal would be strong, not weak, because I am mostly aware of my strengths and weaknesses.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology? From the test, we can learn that I work better in groups and hands on. Also, word smart was weak as well, so being lectured at may not be a good way for me to learn.
My strongest learning style was musical. (Music Smart)
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was Visual/Spatial. (Picture Smart)
I think that this means that I would learn the best when I put words to a rhythm to help me memorize, whereas I will not benefit from looking at different pictures. However, many of my other scores were pretty high, so I think I can learn many different ways.
-Kieran Loehr Period 1/2
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style was Musical (music smart), closely followed by Interpersonal (people smart). I think both of these describe my learning style very accurately. I love learning by music, and I enjoy working with groups.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style by far was Intrapersonal (myself smart). I think this makes sense because I get bored very easily when I am by myself.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
This means that as a learner, I am most successful in groups. This also means that using music as a tool to learn would be very beneficial. I also scored high in the Naturalist category, so having class outside would definitely be a good idea.
-Elisheva Glaser period 3/4
My strongest: Visual/Spatial
ReplyDeletemy weakest: intrapersonal
This means that I work well with my hands and in groups. I enjoy science because the labs contain many hands-on tasks.
Alex Bergman
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style was the musical(Music Smart) catigory. I also had a high score in the interpersonal(People Smart) catigory. I knew that music was going to be a strong catigory because I have listened to it for a long time while working.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
The lowest scoreing catigory was the Logical(Number Smart) catigory. I really haven't been too good when lots of numbers have been put infront of me, so no suprise there.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
From the test results, group work is going to be a strong point for me this year. So plenty of work with groups/lab partners would be very helpful to me.
My strongest learning style was kinaesthetic (body smart). I was not surprised by this because I like to play sports like softball and ride horses. Interpersonal (people smart) was a close second which I also wasn't surprised by because I like interacting with people.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style is musical (music smart). This also did not surprise me because I do not enjoy playing instruments or singing. Linguistic (word smart) was also one of my weaker learning styles which makes sense because I don't like to read.
This means that I will do well in lab groups and hands on activities but I won't do very well remembering things with rythms or by reading from the textbook.
-Maddie Wissoker period 3/4
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning catagory is Kinaesthetic (Body Smart) this makes sense as I am very good at building things.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning catagory is Linguistic, this is definitely right because I am not that great at english class. I am also not that great at giving speeches.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
This means that I can learn faster and better by doing things physically.
My strongest learning style is interpersonal.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style is linguistic.
This means for me as a learner that I am good at interacting with people to learn but I am not good at remembering things from reading in a textbook. Therefore it would be good for me to work in groups to learn things rather than just working by myself and using the textbook.
What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style according to the test was interpersonal. I think that this makes sense because I usually do work well with other people and I'm a sociable person.
What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style according to the test was naturalistic, (nature smart).Even though I enjoy being outside and like nature, I don't tend to go bird watching or remember specific plant names. I understand why this is my weakest style.
What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
This information shows that I work really well with groups,by sharing my own opinions and listening to others. I learn the most this way and especially when I'm hands on. I think I will be successful in biology this year if I am interactively learning.
My strongest learning style is Naturalistic, which makes sense since I love being outside. Second was Kinaesthetic (Body Smart), which also makes sense because I like being active.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was a tie between Visual and Kinguistic. I am able to work quietly on my own, but seem to stumble when talking to others or when addressing the class, algthough I love to read and write. Pictures never seemed to help me, so it makes sense to have that as my weakest.
I think that I would learn best from hands-on labs. By working with the material myself, I should be able to better unerstand it, and therefore learn better.
My strongest learning styles are kinasthetic, linguistic, and naturalistic. I am kind of shocked by these results because I like going outside but I cannot tell you what all the birds names are or what kind of plants there are. I also dont always love to read.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning styles are musical, visual/spatial, and intrapersonal. Interpersonal and logical are both in the middle of the chart. I can see why music is not my strongest learning style because I am not gtreat at telling you what instrument is being played just by the sound of it and I cant read msuic.
This means I like to do a lot of hands on activities and I like to go outsdide. I am also word smart but I dont always like to read.
-Ayla Bonniwell
My strongest learning style was Interpersonal(People Smart. I think this is correct because i am social and i can read people well.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was Musical(Music Smart). I also think that this is correct because i am not musically talented and i can not read music or remember how to play the piano.
For me as a biology student it means that i am going to have to work harder at studying for tests but i will work well with others and well with vocabulary.
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteKinaesthetic and Intropersonal, are my learning styles, (which actually matches up quite well with my personality, I was surprised)
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style is Musical, which is true, I enjoy music greatly, and believe I can sing to some extent, but I am not reliant on music to learn.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
I love talking to other people while learning, getting up and doing things with groups is one of my strong suits I've discovered. A long lecture can drain you and you begin to lose focus, but if I group activity is introduced at the end of most double period, I feel that I am able to regain my focus as a discus the subject to my fellow classmates and friends, since I am a kinaesthetic learner, I think I will find labs very interesting. I am looking forward to this year in biology, and hope to see my ideas incorporated into the learning processes.
My strongest learning styles are Musical and Interpersonal. Those are my strongest because i love to listen to all types of music and i love to socialize with people and have a lot of friends.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style is logical. That is my weakest learning style because it is hard for my to work with numbers.
This year i know i will be successful in biology because i am a people person and we work in groups alot. I am also a very good listener so pick things up rather quickly.

According to the online test, my strongest learning style was Naturaulistic, nature smart, and my weakest learning style was tied between logicial, intrapersonal and musical. The results for me will help me in biology since my strongest was nature smart. When Biology consists the outdoors, then will be the best time for me to learn. Hopefully, bio won't contain too much with musical or personal smarts!
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style was musical(music smart) with 23 points. I agree with this because I am currently playing two instruments and think well in rhythms. I can also pick out the sounds of different instruments in songs.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was intrapersonal (myself smart). I disagree with this because I think it should be naturalistic, which ended up in a three way tie with interpersonal (people smart)and linguistic. But other than that it is understandable.
This means that as a biology student I should try to rhyme and keep a beat, or find pneumatic devices to memorize things. I should also do well in hands on labs.
The test showed that i am a kinasthetic and viusal learner and that my weakest areas are music and linguistic. most likely because I like sports, dont play an instrument and hate writing.
ReplyDeleteEven though people have specific learning styles the best one is the will to do work and that is what I will try to motivate myself to do
-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?
ReplyDeleteMy strongest learning style was Naturalistic which made sense since I like to learn and be outside. However the it also said I was people smart which was not me, since I am pretty shy to new people.
-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?
My weakest learning style was Linguistic, which was right since I am very bad at explaining things and finding words to express feeling and so on.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?
I hope we get to go outside during this school year and I could learn how to say good explanations by listening to others.
My strongest learning styles were Visual/Spatial (picture smart), Linguistic (word smart) and Interpersonal (people smart).
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was Musical (music smart).
I would learn best from books with diagrams and pictures, and working in groups.
Rob Schlom
My strongest learning styles were Musical and Interpersonal. This makes sense to me, I learn well by listening to music (in the background, it focuses me) and learning things from memorization, usually through rhythm. Interpersonal makes sense because I love being around my friends, working in groups, and I can solve or figure out how to solve problems with people easily.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was Kinaesthetic.
For me as a learner, this means that I like working in groups and solving problems. I think that we can use this information knowing that I do well in groups. I probably wouldn't do as well with being active while trying to do work, I'd much rather think things through before doing anything else.
My strongest learning stlyles were interpersonal and intrapersonal. I agree witht his and understand why. In the future, I see myself handling a career that has me working with other people every day.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest learning style was musical. I agree with this completely. When I work, I like no distractions such as music. Music has never appealed to me like it seems to appeal to everyone else.
For me as a learner, this means I work fine in groups as well as on my own. I look forward to this year and any challenges you have for me.
For my learning styles I was high in Linguistic (word smart) and equally strong in music, interpersonal, naturalistic, and visual/spacial. Body smart was even less than number smart. I agree with the word smart, though I'm more of a concept man myself. The interpersonal smart and music smart I can see, and I can tell how these things influence me (love listening to music while writing, use inner resources or mind). With body and number smart being in the two weakest learning styles...that's self-explanatory. I can see working with an environment and with people and with nature and music, but numbers? My arms? I'll stick with words and music.
ReplyDeletefishoak is Pearse Anderson, by the way.
Delete-What is your strongest learning style according to the test?Music smart was strongest.
ReplyDelete-What is your weakest learning style according to the test?Body smart was the weakest but i kind of dont agree.
-What does this mean for you as a learner in Biology and how can we both use this information to ensure your success this year in biology?that i dont like learning by moving around alot. im pretty good in math and i like numbers. so it would be fun to have some math in it.
