Autism Tank: Product Preview: Science Unit on Habitats

This month long unit was just posted on Teachers Pay Teachers and is on sale for the next 24 hours! It focuses on the following 12 vocabulary words centering around Animals and Their Habitats (ocean, farm, rainforest, dolphin, lobster, octopus, cow, pig, chicken, sloth, snake toucan).

This packet includes:

-Materials to create a vocabulary velcro-matching activity
-Flashcards
-3 Levels of Assessments
-17 different worksheets
-2 Games (Bingo and Memory). Multiple versions based on level of difficulty.
-1 Adapted book (with matching pieces and comprehension worksheet)
-11 Journal pages (includes 2 levels of difficulty)
-Parent note home about the unit
-1 Cover sheet for kids to color and use as a cover for all their completed work.

This unit has materials for learners at different levels. Also, it includes a variety of worksheets which allow my students to work on their science IEP goals as well as a variety of other goals (language arts, math, speech, and OT). I use this unit over the course of an entire month. The kids repeat some of the work, but the repetition seems to help them learn the concepts as well as work on becoming more independent.

OK…now onto the good stuff…some photos of this month's unit. The unit is 65 pages long, so these are just some highlights! Here is the vocab sheet that we use as a velcro matching activity.

Here is the highest level of assessment. There are also assessments for receptive and expressive vocabulary words (pictures and words).

The Bingo game, Memory game, and adapted book, are perfect for the days you feel like taking a break from worksheets or when your kids finish their work early!

These journal pages come in 2 different levels. One for tracing and one to work on writing about topics independently.

17 worksheets are included that cover matching, writing, graphing, counting, right vs. left, measurement with a ruler, word search, and cut/paste activities. Many of these are differentiated for the variety of levels of learners you most likely have in your classroom.
