Abstract

During the summer of 2008, this science curriculum was developed to effectively instruct students with Autism ages six to twelve. These lessons were specifically created to promote discovery learning and hands-on activities to keep the students actively engaged. Each lesson is designed for a 50-minute class period in an outdoor setting. After composing the lessons, each was implemented four times in one day. Then each lesson was adjusted accordingly to ensure that the lesson will run smoothly next summer when taught again.
