The law of zonal distribution of soil is an important part of senior high school geography teaching. It reflects the integrity and regional diff erences of the geographical environment and is the key for students to understand the laws of physical geography. Aiming at the problems that students lack perceptual experience and have diffi culty in understanding the continuous gradual change process of soil color along spatial directions in teaching, this paper designs a phased embodied learning teaching aid model based on embodied cognition theory and constructivist learning concept. Taking the physical teaching aid of“fi ve-color soil”as the cognitive starting point, the model guides students to intuitively perceive the color differences of typical soils; then, through the hands-on operation of the“plasticine simulation puzzle method”, it helps students construct a spatial model of the continuous variation of soil color along latitudinal and longitudinal directions. The coordinated application of the two teaching aids can promote students’intuitive understanding and spatial perception of the law of soil zonation. With low cost and simple operation, this scheme provides a referable design idea and practical path for the teaching of abstract concepts in senior high school geography.
