Mechanical & Electromagnetic Waves

Teach mechanical and electromagnetic waves with a clear, adapted, middle/high school science set designed for students who need stronger visual support, repetition, and structured practice.

This Mechanical & Electromagnetic Waves resource is a standards-based academic set that introduces and reviews key concepts related to light waves and sound waves, including how they are alike, how they are different, and important wave vocabulary such as crest, trough, wavelength, compression, and rarefaction.

This set is especially helpful for special education classrooms, adapted curriculum classes, intervention groups, and students who benefit from scaffolded science instruction with visuals, repeated exposure, and hands-on response options.

What’s Included:

  • Adapted information textbook on light and sound waves
  • Instruction on electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves
  • Compare and contrast section for light and sound waves
  • Vocabulary and core word supports
  • Standards pages
  • Interactive flipbook with movable answer pieces
  • Assessment response templates and comprehension questions
  • Answer key
  • Differentiated wave labeling activities with 3 levels of support
  • Additional practice pages for identifying crest, trough, and wavelength
  • PCS communication boards in multiple sizes
  • Word wall cards
  • BINGO game for review and repeated practice

Skills Addressed:

  • Identifying parts of a wave
  • Understanding the difference between light and sound waves
  • Learning key science vocabulary
  • Comparing electromagnetic and mechanical waves
  • Practicing comprehension through structured response activities

This resource gives you multiple ways to teach the same science content across whole group, small group, independent work, centers, or review. It is a practical option for helping students access upper elementary, middle school, and high school wave concepts in a more supported format.

Plant & Animals Cells

Teach plant cells, animal cells, and the function of cell organelles with a clear, adapted science set designed for middle and high school students who need more visual support, repeated practice, and structured activities.

This Cells Academic Set provides basic, accessible instruction on what cells are, the function of important organelles, and how plant and animal cells are alike and different. The unit includes adapted reading, hands-on practice, comprehension questions, vocabulary support, and communication supports to help students engage with science content in a more meaningful and manageable way. The adapted text covers key organelles and functions including cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplasts, along with differences between plant and animal cells.

What’s Included:

  • Adapted text about cells and organelle function
  • Sections for animal cells, plant cells, and plant vs. animal cell comparisons
  • Vocabulary lists, including basic and extended options
  • Core word list
  • Standards pages
  • Interactive flipbook with answer pieces
  • Assessment response templates and comprehension questions
  • Animal cell and plant cell labeling activities
  • Answer keys
  • Sorting activity for plants and animals
  • PCS communication boards in multiple sizes and formats
  • Word wall words for review and classroom display

This resource works well for special education classrooms, adapted curriculum classes, intervention groups, and students who benefit from visual supports and scaffolded academic content. It is especially helpful for repeated practice with science vocabulary and basic understanding of cell structures and organelle functions.

Properties of Solutions

Teach mixtures, solutions, solutes, and solvents with a clear, adapted science set designed for middle and high school students who need more visual support, repeated practice, and structured review.

This Properties of Solutions academic set introduces the difference between a mixture and a solution, explains what it means to dissolve, and helps students learn the roles of the solute and solvent through simple language, visuals, and repeated examples. The adapted text also reviews important properties of solutions, including that solutions are uniform, do not settle over time, and cannot be separated with a filter because the particles are so small.

This resource is a good fit for special education classrooms, adapted curriculum classes, intervention groups, and students who benefit from scaffolded academic instruction with strong visual support.

What’s Included:

  • Adapted informational text on mixtures, solutions, solutes, and solvents
  • Vocabulary and core word support
  • Standards page
  • Interactive flipbook with movable answer pieces
  • Assessment response templates and comprehension questions
  • Matching activity for solution, solvent, and solute
  • Table-based question activities using real-life solution examples
  • Activities for identifying the solvent and solute
  • Answer keys
  • PCS communication boards in multiple sizes and formats
  • Word wall resources for review and classroom display

Students practice these concepts using familiar examples like hot chocolate, chicken broth, apple cider, salt water, pink lemonade, dish water, swimming pool water, and sweetened coffee, making the content easier to understand and apply.
