Life Science Tactile Graphics (1-08840-00)

Life Science Tactile Graphics is a collection of vacuum-formed, full-color raised-line tactile graphics designed for use by students who are blind or have low vision disabilities. Life Science Tactile Graphics depict organisms, processes, concepts, and patterns which are typically covered in middle-and high school life science courses. The drawings in Life Science Tactile Graphics employ several types of lines and textures, as well as different heights.

Braille labels are provided on the drawings, but users can add to or change the labels by creating self-adhesive braille labels. Instructional hints and suggestions are given for each tactile drawing. The goal of the suggestions is to help make science learning real for students who are not using standard printed images. These graphics help demonstrate concepts in science just as print images do, but to be effective, they depend on a foundation of tactile reading skills, students’ hands-on experiences, and verbal description a teacher provides.

Includes:

•  56 full-color tactile diagrams on durable vacuum-formed plastic
• Teachers Guide in large print
• Sturdy three-ring storage binder
