ISAAC IN AN ACTIVITY OBSERVING THE EFFECT OF GRAVITY ON A BALL ROLLING DOWN AN INCLINE

In this activity, Isaac and two peers are involved in setting up an incline with a ruler, rolling a ball down it, and recording observations. You will see Isaac's peers working in this process while helping him to be involved.

The paraprofessional provides some assistance to Isaac but then pulls back so the students can work together effectively.

Isaac is working on eye-hand coordination, ability to grasp and control his hand movements, and interpersonal interactions in this clip. The other students are setting up the experiment and making observations. But they are also learning about how to help Isaac participate and social skills of cooperation and support.
