Science website at <A
href="http://www.blindscience.org">www.blindscience.org</A> for more ideas and
resources. also, Cary Supalo is a recent PhD recipient in chemistry and
has started a company that makes accessible chemistry lab equipment like
different talking probes for different labs. He should be a great
resource. Another idea would be to contact Hoby (Henry) Wedler, a
chemistry student at UC Berkley for advice and info about classroom techniques
and equipment. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I am a VI teacher who has taught chemistry for 6 years to the
VI. If the school will get him a temperature probe that connects to a
computer, it would be great. He needs tactile graphing paper of
course. He needs the braille measuring cups. Get him the braille
metric and brailled English system of measurements so he can compare. he needs
manipulatives like gram measurements and a balance. He needs a talking scale
that measures grams and ounces and a metric and English ruler. There is a
great kitchen one that I use. The Basic Science Book from APH is great for
thermaform science pictures. SAVI has great kits for him. They are great for his
age. I know much more hands-on stuff than websites as we have no internet
in our class. cindy robinson<BR> <BR>

Every,</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Vejas is in
8<SUP>th</SUP> grade & his science curriculum this year is focusing of
chemistry.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN

actively participate as much as possible in the lab portion of the
class.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Do you have
insights, pictures, and web-links to specific sites that focus on how a blind
student specifically measures things & can participate in other
chemistry-related activities?</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Any pearls of
experience & wisdom will be greatly appreciated.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN

teacher & TVI are open to suggestions.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN

enough responses, I will be happy to group them together & share them if you
