General Notes:

Access courses are intended only for students with a significant cognitive disability. Access courses are designed to provide tiered access to the general curriculum through three levels of access points (Participatory, Supported, and Independent), which reflect increasing levels of complexity and depth of knowledge aligned with grade-level expectations. The access points included in access courses are intentionally designed to foster high expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities.

Science is the study of living and non-living systems and how they interact with one another in logical and organized ways (cause and effect). It explains the orderly nature of the world around us and reinforces the calculable, rather than random, nature of life. With such knowledge, the way each of us interacts with our environment becomes more predictable. When people can predict outcomes in life, they gain control of their environment, their fears, and their destiny.

Additionally, scientific inquiry provides students with a systematic approach to posing questions and seeking answers through observation and data collection. While the process may appear lofty for students with significant cognitive disabilities, observing and collecting data on life’s activities brings relevance to otherwise detached events and provides experience on which to base predictions and analyze consequences of actions. Knowing how to respond to a set of circumstances depends on how well we understand the nature of those circumstances.

Regardless of the specific discipline, the study of science creates a rational, organized, and predictable framework for interacting with the world around us. The result is an increased sense of control over the environment and a reduced sense of helplessness, both of which are essential for willful participation in life.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with significant cognitive disabilities access to the concepts and content of Earth/Space Science. Understanding the dynamic relationship between the environment, the Earth and the universe improves the ability to predict how we impact our surroundings and prepares us to respond to and interact with the forces and objects of nature. The content should include, but not be limited to:

  • Earth systems, structures, and processes
  • Natural forces and their effect on Earth and the universe
  • The transfer of energy and matter
  • The dynamic nature of the geosphere
  • The water cycle, weather, and climate
  • Investigative methodology
  • Renewable and non-renewable energy resources
