Rocks
I teach an inclusion science class that consists of 10 special education students and 12 regular education students. Our class is also grouped homogeneously. I am currently teaching Earth and Space Science and also covering Physics. Although the Rocks SciGuide was geared to middle school, I am still able to use the lessons, materials, and ideas but modify them to my standards. The Rocks SciGuide was a very useful tool for me. I like how it gave me resources to content, hand on investigations, lesson ideas, and assessments for teaching about the rocks There were three sections: 1) Formation of Rocks 2) History of Rocks. When you click on either one of them, they give you specific lesson plans, hands on activities, and all sorts of valuable materials that you can use in the classrooms. I was able to use those lesson plans and modify them to the needs of my students. But having the lessons there to use as a model really helps.
