Thermodynamics deals with the concepts of heat and temperature and the inter-conversion of heat and other forms of energy.

Students with ADHD may also need assistance breaking a larger task or project into smaller, more workable units. The following strategies can be used to address these needs. Deconstructing Tasks: Break tasks into smaller units. o Limit amount of work per page. o Cover up part of the work on a page. o Allow extra time for completing tasks. o Provide work breaks.

Giving Directions Many students with ADHD have trouble following directions. Here are some guidelines that might help address this problem. Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time. If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner. Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of a completed project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders of process steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-term projects.

If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA).
