This article explores how Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) can be translated into classroom practice in a selected group of nine grade students in the greater Athens area in Greece. To this end, attempts were made to ascertain if the general claims of the theory can be verified with the above group of students within the framework of a science unit of the Greek curriculum dealing with the topic of ‘acid rain’. Furthermore, efforts were exerted to find out to which degree the MI theory may contribute to personalize learning in the above topic of the science unit.
