Hi Bruce:
Using color, or the student’s senses during lesson plans is another great way of employing as many teaching methods as we can in hopes of addressing as many learning styles as we can. We understand that most students learn by a combination of these styles.
If we can use teaching methods that address these styles, we increase the chance of a student understanding and retaining the material.

One of the classes I teach is Intro to Psychology. Some of this course material is pretty dry. For that course material I add sensory exercises. For example, when we discussed how neurons work I had the class stand up and put their hand on the next student's shoulder, forming a chain of students throughout the room. A shoulder squeeze signaled the firing of a neuron. Each student had to receive and send a shoulder squeeze, in sequence, until all students in the chain acted as a neuron firing. This got the students up and moving and involved in what a neuron does, rather than just hearing about it via lecture. Another strategy I used when talking about the brain was to involve visuals which each student created. I made copies of a drawing of the brain and brought in crayons. While we discussed the parts of the brain, with the help of a PowerPoint presentation, the students got to label and color their own illustrations of the brain. This offered interaction while learning. I jokingly told them to tap into their inner child while using the crayons. I think some did! I also use visualization and meditation exercises in Psychology so students feel how the mind and body interact with each other.
I teach in a culinary school, so the students are very much geared to taste,smell, sight and touch. I encourage them to develop these senses further by focusing and paying attention to the details of what they are cooking. I also suggest to them the idea of using 'hearing' in their cooking....to listen to the sound of searing, sizzling, blending etc and how it changes when volume changes. The senses can be used to teach the importance of being present.
I use discovery method in teaching basic mathematics concept like operation of fractions and integers. The students manipulate real-world materials to generalize what they discover about the concept. They touch, manipulate the materials, see the outcome and generalize. I often observe their "aha" moments when they realize that they understand it better from their discovery. Pragmatic approach -learning by doing and getting correct answers make the adult students proud of themselves and boost their confidence plus learning is more retentive.

By using different instructional methods like powerpoint that would work better for visual students, and showing of actual samples and projects that would let the students see them up close so that they can hold and feel them. These strategies work the best for me because I am teaching sewing in Fashion Design and the students want to see more images and demonstrations for them to learn the skills.
I encourgae my student to "walk & talk" their notes when they study. This engages several of
their senses, keeps them stimulated, and heightens their awareness while they learn their material!
In the culinary field, where most all senses are needed, one testing "game" we do is loveling called "stinky cups". Basically, different ingrediets are placed in a 4oz. portion cup, then covered with a piece of cheese cloth or gauze and secured with string. The object is for the student to realy on their sense of smell as well as their sense of sight in indentification of product.

I like to show the students that don't realize that they do use their senses, by showing them when they have.....IE life examples (common)
