Description

These 12 different experiments allow students with autism and special learning needs to conduct real experiments with as much independence as possible while still following the scientific method. They are structured to allow students to make the necessary connections to the content while working through the 6 steps of the Scientific Method.

✩✩✩ PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE THE SAME EXPERIMENTS INCLUDED IN THE SCIENCE UNITS LISTED BELOW. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE THE UNITS TO BE ABLE TO DO THE EXPERIMENTS.

✩✩✩ I pulled these experiments out of my most popular science units so teachers would be able to still have access to them without having to purchase the entire unit. They work perfectly alone, without the unit.

✩✩✩ If you would like to learn more about how to use these experiments (and download a FREE sample, check out my blog post on Using the Scientific Method in Special Education by clicking HERE.

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 purchase 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.

@fantasticallyfourth so inspired me with this post @fantasticallyfourth so inspired me with this post. HUGE SHOUT OUT to the amazing lengths teachers are going to this year. Keep shining that light!!!! 💕Today was the first day my kiddos were able to see me in costume for a lesson. In a regular year it’s a somewhat usual occurance—but as we all know this year has been different. • We used @love.mrs.liebscher s Multiplicative Pizzeria where students practiced their multiplicative word problem skills as they filled orders for the pizzeria. Finally, they were able to come up with their own multiplicative recipe and creat their own pizza! • Due to our current COV!D reality, each student’s individual place was set up with a red placemat for working, their work orders, and their own chef hat (made form construction paper. One of my favorite things is seeing how many of my kiddos end up wearing their chef hat all day 😂. It’s the cutest.
