Learning through improves understanding and retention as students practice, test out new theories and draw their own conclusions when they are using their bodies and senses to engage with the material. When children experience an activity they are more likely to be engaged and focused and more likely to learn. Multi-sensory involvement in learning, including movement helps the brain store the information through multiple pathways, which strengthens understanding and retention. As students select the actions or objects, organize the information using the actions, and integrate new information with prior knowledge they are enhancing their learning (Fiorella and Mayer (2016)).
