Abstract

Science education is often absent from the high school, moderate/severe special education classroom curriculum. When students in moderate/severe special education classrooms do not receive science instruction, they miss out on a key learning opportunity like the other curricular subjects and life skills. Increasing science education for students with disabilities may provide them with opportunities for critical thinking skills, problem solving, and creativity. In order to address this issue, I will create a three day lesson for 9 to 12 graders in a moderate/severe classroom setting at Soledad High School in Soledad, California.
