This biology bundle contains 4 biology units specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school.

 

It includes:

  • Levels of Organization
  • Cells and Cell Processes
  • Cell Division
  • Genetics and Heredity

 

These biology units address the characteristics, parts, and processes of plant and animal cells, cell division, and genes in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

 

With 11 weeks of instruction, there are many opportunities for students to engage in activities about plant and animal cells, cell division, and genetic makeup. This repetition encourages a true understanding of this very abstract concept.

 

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

 

This biology bundle includes print and digital versions of the activities. There is a set of google slides for each unit that include a differentiated set of slides. There is a movie version of the book included as well.

 

THESE WOULD MAKE A GREAT INDEPENDENT LEARNING CENTER FOR YOUR CLASSROOM.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into 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.
