What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is the large-print edition of OpenSciEd's Unit 6.1: Light & Matter, a middle school science curriculum unit adapted by APH for students with low vision. APH reformats the text and visual elements at enlarged font sizes and high contrast to make the standard classroom materials accessible alongside sighted peers. It's designed for a student following an IEP or 504 plan who needs print materials in a larger format to access 6th-grade science content. This is a standalone printed product — no additional hardware needed — but it works as a curriculum supplement alongside the teacher's standard OpenSciEd unit, not as a complete independent course. Federal Quota funds are available for eligible students in the US, which is the primary funding path for most school-aged users.
