    	I read an article recently that NASA gave some tactals like you want to the Blind School here in Kansas. I don’t know who exactly you would contact but that there is someone in NASA that gives such tactals is at least something to start with.
I would also ask the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. They have tactals of several rockets and landers at their museum that have comparisons to the size of an average man for scale. They’re quite beautiful. Perhaps they can get you a copy?

Hello,

In the Houston BELL program, we did experiments described in the book:
"Hands-on Science: Experiences in the STEM Subjects for Students
in Kindergarten and Elementary School
Out-Of-Sight Science Experiments by Dr. Lillian Rankel and Marilyn Winograd 
published in
Braille and large print by National Braille Press. The book contains
thirty-two experiments. 
Future Reflections summer 2013.

Also, we were able to have the organization called Mad Science (https://www.madscience.org/), give science lessons to our kids for an hour a day for a week.  Mad Science specializes in science lessons for elementary age children.  There may be similar organizations in your areas.

Subject: [Nfb-science] Looking for Suggestions: Moon Project for Next Year's BELL Program

Since next year is the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, the first ever moon landing, I thought about doing something around that as part of our state's BELL program next year. However, I'm not sure what would be a goodpresentation. I have a general idea of what I want to do, to somehow recount the story of that landing, but I don't want to have the students just sit and read or hear something about it. I also know that I want to find models of the command and lunar modules as well as the Saturn 5 rocket so they can look at them. However, that's about all I know. We're not sure if we're doing the version for ages 4-12 or ages 11-18. We have a lot of unknowns, so we're looking for ideas. Do any of you have suggestions on what our team might do? Who might we contact for help? Where might I get marerials? My team and I are clueless and are looking for any ideas you might be able to give us. Thanks.
