Students are provided access to actively engage in learning to view the world scientifically. Teachers will ask questions about nature and students will collect things, count and measure things, observe, and classify using pictures, oral or written language. Students have multiple experiences applying and practicing science skills and processes in life, earth, and physical sciences aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This course is designed to facilitate alternate academic learning outcomes appropriate to the instructional needs of the student, as documented in the Individualized Education Program (IEP). This course is linked to the general education curriculum; however, the student will require a different scope and sequence, adapted and modified materials.
