polymers.  Roger Larson with Vernier Software & Technology will be
demonstrating how to take visual measurements non-visually

will be working with the earth sciences 
.	Amelia Dickerson, a chemistry student from the University of
Colorado in Boulder, will be conducting chemistry experiments and also
sharing her experiences as a successful blind science student

accessible to them such as probes, smart pens, and an accessible periodic
table
