| Course Description: | |
| Students develop age-appropriate, individualized science skills within the context of the alternate achievement standards for students with moderate/severe disabilities. The instructional program emphasizes functional science activities, including identification of objects, comparison of the physical properties and attributes of objects, knowledge of basic weather, and the understanding of plants, animals, body parts, and senses. Adaptations may be utilized in order for students to access the content area. Generalization of functional science skills across school, home, and community environments is the desired outcome to maximize the student’s independence and participation in all aspects of life. | |
