Abstract: The author will provide an overview of the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH); an argument-based inquiry approach to science instruction. This approach shown promise in improving science scores and critical thinking assessment scores for students with disabilities. The SWH approach incorporates the use of argument and hands-on experiences to increase science achievement by improving critical thinking skills. Instructional components of the SWH approach and data supporting its use for students with disabilities will be presented.
