This master's thesis is focused on multisensory teaching in scienece, which is an alternative approach to traditional ways of teaching. Teachers use this approach realtively rarely, because of all the limitation that comes with the current school system. The work is divided into a theoretical and a research part. The first part deals with multisensory development, how the contact with nature with actual, concrete material affects learning, what multisensory way of teaching even is, what si experiental learning, which in very connected to multisensory teaching and it also shows some of the pedagogical approaches that include the elements of multisensory teaching. In the empirical part, we have conducted a quantitative research in an experimental and a control group, which both took an anonymous test before and after the lesson was conducted. We found that the use of multisensory approach is quite reasonable, because despite the differences between individual segments of knowledge, the final progress was way better in the experimental group (taught in multisensory approach) than in the control group (taught in traditional approach).
