Smart Intelligences and Bloom’s Taxonomy – I would like to
Seven ways to be smart	Bloom’s Taxonomy : Six Thinking Levels
	Knowing	Understanding	Applying	Analysing	Creating	Evaluating
Verbal I enjoy reading writing and speaking	- list five sports where I know gravity is important	- give you a brief history of Newton’s work on gravity.	- write a poem explaining the dangers of gravity	- explain why the feather and coin will fall at the same rate in a vacuum	- write a play about the involving the difference between mass and weight	- write to a friend explaining how living on the Moon is different.
Mathematical I enjoy working with numbers & science	- tell you that Force= mass x acceleration	- can explain why we would weigh less on the moon	- calculate my weight on a variety of different planets.	- draw a graph from data of a falling object and look for patterns.	- devise a hypothesis about why the Moon does not crash into the Earth	- critically examine the hypothesis.
Visual/Spatial I enjoy painting drawing& visualising	- draw a diagram showing the forces acting on a dropping ball	- draw a concept map of my understanding of gravity	- create a poster explaining the ‘dangers’ of gravity.	- using diagrams compare the forces on a falling ball and a floating ship	- create a multimedia PowerPoint on weight on different planets	- critically evaluate the presentation in terms of scientific understanding.
Kinaesthetic I enjoy doing hands on activities, sports and dance	- look at and, feel a group of objects and predict which will hit the ground first	- design and create a parachute that will slow down the decent of the objects.	- make a push pull meter, calibrate it, and use it to weigh different objects.	- carry out the home experiment on gravity and arrive at answers to the questions	- design an experiment to look at streamlining	- test the idea
Musical I enjoy making and listening to music	- find a song that mentions the effects of gravity	- write a gravity poem that brings together force, mass and acceleration	- compose an advertising ditty on the benefits of gravity.	- investigate and replicate the experiments of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)	- create a rap explaining the results of the Galileo’s experiments.	- write a critique of the rap.
Interpersonal I enjoy working with others	- find a set of web links on gravity that the class would find useful.	- create a group PowerPoint pres. On why the apple doesn’t fall the other way in Australia.	- join others in a videoconference discussion on gravity and its effects	- investigate a ball rolling down a slope and discuss, with others, the forces involved.	- with others devise an experiment to test that objects fall at the same rate.	- join an Internet discussion group on questions about gravity
Intrapersonal I enjoy working by myself	- use the Internet to find my own information on gravity	- write a brief précis on each site I found.	- create a glossary of terms used in my work on gravity and forces.	-prepare a mindmap about your understanding of gravity	- create a podcast describing the results of the home experiment.	- write a critique of the podcast
