This teacher's guide and student guide unit contains supplemental readings, activities, and methods adapted for secondary students who have disabilities and other students with diverse learning needs.

The teacher's guide includes a general description of each unit's content focus, provides suggestions for enrichment, and contains an assessment to measure student performance. Appendices describe instructional strategies, list enrichment suggestions, contain suggestions for specific strategies to facilitate inclusion, and contain a chart describing standards and benchmarks. The student guide includes practices and lab activities. (Contains 32 references.) (CR)
