Chemistry Curriculum Adapted Science Units Special Education Science Experiments

This Chemistry Curriculum contains 9 units specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school.

Includes:

• Lab Safety (1 week)
• 12 Science Experiments (3 weeks)
• Scientific Method (3 weeks)
• Famous Scientists (4 weeks)
• The Atom (1 week)
• The Periodic Table (3 weeks)
• Mixtures and Solutions (3 weeks)
• Physical and Chemical Changes (3 weeks)
• Acids and Bases (2 weeks)

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the atom and periodic table. This repetition encourages a true understanding of this very abstract concept.

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

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.
