Kinesthetic:
Kinesthetic learners, learn best through action. Movement, involvong the actual performance of the task , and interaction in a real life situation. Kinesthetic learners are often energetic, physical people, and can have good co-ordination and dexterity. A kinesthetic learner may have trouble with listening, or planning things out, but often have an innate understanding of their physical environment.
Some examples of teaching methods for a kinesthetic learner might be field tripping; lab experiments/demonstrations, games, collecting or handling specimens, creative projects, exhibitions etc
Probably I’d make sure the written theory information was simple and broken down into bullet points or easily understandable chunks, maybe on laminated work sheets, that could handle wear and tear out in the field or on a trip. These could be refferred to without getting in the way of the activity/exercise
