This
article
lays
out
a
set
of
principles
to
provide
guidance
in
the
design
of
academic
environments,
communications,
and
products
that
cater
to
students
with
disabilities
such
as
blindness,
low
vision,
hearing
impairments,
mobility
impairments,
learning
disabilities,
and
health
impairments.
The
field
of
universal
design
can
provide
a
starting
point
for
developing
an
inclusive
model
for
instruction.

Universal
Design
for
Learning
(UDL)
is
a
new
paradigm
for
teaching,
learning,
and
assessment,
drawing
on
new
brain
research
and
new
media
technologies
to
respond
to
individual
learner
differences.
This
document
provides
an
overview
of
UDL,
including
how
teachers
can
respond
to
individual
differences
in
the
way
students
learn,
and
neuroscience
research
into
how
individual
brains
process
information.

LabWrite
is
an
online
resource
designed
to
help
students
learn
science
by
writing
better
laboratory
reports.
It
is
organized
into
four
major
parts,
reflecting
the
chronological
experience
of
the
lab.
PreLab
asks
students
to
respond
to
a
set
of
questions
that
lead
them
through
a
scientific
understanding
of
the
lab
before
they
actually
begin.
InLab
provides
resources
and
help
for
students
as

This
site
provides
an
extensive
set
of
references
pertaining
to
instructional
design.
Models
are
grouped
within
prescriptive
or
phenomenological
categories,
broken
down
into
behaviorist,
cognivist,
and
constructivist
approaches
to
instruction.
With
each
model,
the
resource
provides
a
liberal
set
of
links
to
articles
ranging
from
basic

This
activity
introduces
basic
procedures
involved
in
inquiry
and
concepts
describing
the
nature
of
science.
In
the
first
portion
of
the
activity,
the
teacher
uses
a
numbered
cube
to
involve
students
in
asking
the
question
'what
is
on
the
bottom?'
and
the
students
propose
an
explanation
based
on
their
observations.
Then
the
teacher
presents
students
with
a
second
cube
and
asks
them
to
use
the
available

This
activity
has
students
practice
working
together
as
a
group
to
build
a
structure
involving
a
textbook,
a
styrofoam
cup,
and
a
pencil.
The
rules
of
this
task
create
a
unique
challenge
for
students.
The
builders
are
wearing
blindfolds
and
the
helpers,
who
are
the
only
students
who
have
seen
the
desired
structure,
cannot
speak
or
handle
the
building
materials.
Consequently,
the
builders
and

In
this
activity
students
observe
what
happens
when
various
amounts
of
water
are
poured
into
a
black
box
and
propose
models
to
explain
their
observations.
When
water
is
poured
into
the
funnel,
students
observe
that
sometimes
water
emerges
through
the
outlet
tube
and
sometimes
it
does
not.
Also,
the
amount
of
water
that
does
emerge
is
not
constant.
Students

their
initial
ideas
with
others
and

The
2000
National
Survey
of
Science
and
Mathematics
Education
was
designed
to
provide
up-to-date
information
and
to
identify
trends
in
the
areas
of
teacher
background
and
experience,
curriculum
and
instruction,
and
the
availability
and
use
of
instructional
resources.
The
questions
addressed
by
the
survey
include
'How
well
prepared
are
science
and

teachers
in

of
both
content
and

This
resource
warns
against
using
pathetic
fallacy
and
animism
in
the
teaching
of
science.
The
author
defines
these
terms
and
goes
on
to
cite
various
examples
of
their
use
by
college
professors
and
other
scientists.
He
suggests
that
any
time
a
teacher
uses
words
suggestive
of
human
aspirations
or
emotions
to
explain
the
behavior
of
the
inanimate
natural
world,
there
is
trouble.
His
rule
is
that
