Think about how you might have to modify Experiment 11 for the inclusive classroom. Discuss a couple of the modifications you envision. In addition, discuss a couple of the problems you believe might occur and how you would handle them.

In a diverse inclusive classroom wherein students with emotional and behavioral disorders and students with exceptional mental and non-disabled behavioral tendencies, it is important that teachers provide all the resources needed for the student to accomplish the experiment in the most accurate and simple way as possible. Inadequacy in the resources might cause special students to exhibit misdemeanor. The mass of 25 grams in the experiment was obtained by getting a couple of small materials collectively. The problem with this kind of set-up is that students might have difficulty in selecting and approximating collectively this mass. Teacher can provide readymade materials not just the 25 grams but teacher can also handle the measurement of angles. Teacher must include as much helpful and related material as possible.

Teachers must also be able to know techniques in order to manage mentally and emotionally disorder special students. The experiment needs lots patience. Teacher can include several follow up questions and other means that allow more communication between these students and teacher to manage these students more.
