Intelligence

Overview

Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple

Intelligences has provided

educators with a new view of

intelligence.

It emphasizes that:

science, math and language are not

the only ways to exhibit intelligence.

People exhibit intelligence in many

different ways.

Each type of intelligence is as

valuable as the others.

Intelligence

Overview

Gardner defines intelligence as:

“the capacity to solve problems or to

fashion products that are valued in one

or more cultural setting.”

His theory suggests that the traditional

notion of intelligence, based on I.Q.

testing, is far too limited because it

focuses on linguistic and logical-

mathematical intelligence.

Intelligence tests tend to classify learners

as “good (bright)” or “bad (stupid)”. 7

Intelligence

Overview

Gardner classifies types of intelligences into

eight different areas:

Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")

Logical-mathematical intelligence

("number/reasoning smart")

Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")

Bodily intelligence ("body smart")

Musical intelligence ("music smart")

Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")

Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")

Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

The Study

The Linguistic Intelligence

My name is ------------------------------------. I’m linguistically intelligent. I’ll complete this activity to strengthen my linguistic intelligence in

chemistry.

The Chemical Equation

Consider this equation: 2H2 + O2 2H2O It might be expressed linguistically: Two Hydrogen molecules react with

one Oxygen molecule to produce two water molecules.

Translate the following equation linguistically: Cl2 + 2Na 2NaCl

One molecule of -----------------reacts with two molecules of --------------------- to produce two molecules of ----------------------------------------.

Translate the following equation linguistically: C + O2 CO 2

---------------------------------reacts with ----------------------------------- to produce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Translate the following equation linguistically: Mg + H2SO4 MgSO4 + H2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

ABC

The Visual Intelligence

My name is ------------------------------------. I’m visually intelligent. I’ll complete this activity to strengthen my visual intelligence in

chemistry.


Consider this equation: 2H2 + O2 2H2O It might be expressed visually:

Translate the following equation visually: Cl2 + 2Na 2NaCl

Use for Na and for Cl

Translate the following equation visually: C + O2 CO 2

+

+

+

The Mathematical Intelligence

My name is ------------------------------------. I’m mathematically intelligent. I’ll complete this activity to strengthen my

mathematical intelligence in chemistry.


The chemical equation should be balanced. The number of atoms in the two sides should be equal. For example consider this equation:

2H2 + O2 2H2O The number of Oxygen atoms before the arrow =2, the number of Oxygen

atoms after the arrow = 1x2=2.

The number of Hydrogen atoms before the arrow =2x2=4, the number of Hydrogen atoms after the arrow = 2x2=4.

Consider this equation: Mg + H2SO4 MgSO4 + H2

Then complete the following table:

Element No. of atoms before the arrow No. of atoms after the arrow

Mg

H

S

O

The Mathematical Intelligence (cont.)


What do you conclude from the table? Is the equation balanced?

-------------- Why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Mg + H2SO4 MgSO4 + H2

To balance the equation below, you need to add the number 2 in order for chlorine atoms to be equal in both sides of the equation. Put the number 2 in the correct place(s).

Cl2 + Na NaCl

Balance the following equation.

O2 + NO NO2

3 2 1


Below are some skills required to balance chemical equations. Check the skills that you excel in:

I know that the number of individual element’s atoms should be equal in both sides of the equation.

I know how to count each element’s atoms before and after the arrow.

I can determine whether the chemical equation is balanced or not.

I can determine which element that the number of its atoms need to be altered so the equation becomes balanced.

I have mathematical ability which enables me to balance chemical equations.

I can balance the chemical equation.

My name is ------------------------------------. I’m personally intelligent. I’ll complete this activity to strengthen my personal intelligence in

chemistry.

The Scientific Group

I’m scientifically intelligent. I’ll complete this activity to strengthen my scientific intelligence in chemistry.


Scientists benefit a lot from using chemical equations. Some of the benefits that scientists get from chemical equations are:

Chemical equations simplify complex reactions. Therefore, it becomes easier to manipulate them.

Chemical equations become a universal language. Chinese, European, American and Arabian students can all look at the same chemical equation and understand it in the same way.

Chemical equations help scientists to predict the products of the reaction.

Overview

Theory of Multiple Intelligences has provided

educators with a new view of assessment.

How?

How can we really tell if students are

grasping the content. Do they really

understand?

When students have multiple choices in

ways to demonstrate their knowledge, the

evidence of their learning is more accurate.

To actually engage in an authentic

celebration is to witness a true display of

student understanding.

How?

A paper and pencil test does not touch true understanding.

Some students express their grasp of the content by:

Designing visual presentations

Constructing 3D models

Participating in a debate session

Working in a team project

Conducting a field investigation
