[Nfb-science] High school biology help needed

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Hi there,
My high school teacher created a system of magnetic biological structures,
which allowed my peers and me to learn hands-on how things worked. This
package is for sale, and may be a good investment for your child's teacher.
Not just for your daughter, but for all the classroom. I'll forward you his
contact info once I find it, and see if perhaps he and your child's teacher
can connect.

Subject: [Nfb-science] High school biology help needed

Hi everyone, 

I'm new to the list.  My daughter is visually impaired, in 10th grade
biology class, and I was recently told by her science teacher that, though
the teacher has a lot of interesting videos on cells, she doesn't show them
in class, because of my daughter.  Thus far, biology, which is a fascinating
subject, has been nothing but memorizing terms and my daughter is
understandably becoming very bored.  I've googled 3D versions of plant and
animal cells and have found a few that I think might be affordable to order
for home.  I've requested described DVDs from dcmp.org, but haven't received
them yet.  Do you have any recommendations for making high school biology
interesting for a visually impaired student?

Many thanks,
Mary Ann Bennett
