What educators are saying

I can't say enough good things about your curriculum for these kiddos! Watching my daughter go through the worksheets and understanding what she's reading and watching her do her worksheets with ease has been an amazing process to watch. Thank you.
This is a great product to use in my classroom, I love the product and it is highly engaging for my students!

Description

This scientific method unit contains activities, labs, and experiments specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school.

This scientific method unit addresses the 6 steps of the scientific method in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

  1. Ask a question
  2. Do research
  3. Make a hypothesis
  4. Perform experiments
  5. Analyze results
  6. Present a conclusion

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the importance of each step as well as examples of each step along the way.

In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

✩✩✩ This unit has digital versions of the printable activities, including the experiments. There are 47 google slides that include a differentiated set.

See the preview for a more detailed look at the contents.

*****************************************************************************

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. Remember, you will gain credit toward future purchases on tpt as you leave more and more feedback!!

I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future. Plus, it just means a lot to me.
