[nabs-l] Creating tactile punnett squares

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

I actually took a genetics class in high school which used all sizes
of squares.  The largest was an 8 by 8 grid.  I would also recommend
using some kind of tactile board and using markers of some kind to
serve as your alleles.  These could even be found objects like buttons
or different coins.  I used dimes and nickles on mine.

If you don't have a board as I did not see if your braillist can make
you a tactile grid.  My braillist took a side of a cardboard box and
puffy painted lines onto it.  For smaller grids she used the tracing
wheel (sorry I do not know the technical name for it but it makes
tactile lines and looks like a pizza cutter) onto a piece of
cardstock.  My teacher either graded it as he looked at it or took a
picture of it so he could grade me later.

Good luck.  Genetics is such an interesting subject.  If you have any
questions about other things I'd be happy to help.
