That will show you the basics. To use it for weather maps you would just xerox the image onto copy paper and then trace the lines you need to show the different weather patterns. If one image would be too cluttered to make a useful tactile graphic, reproduce the image a number of times and split up the information on to different pages.

Subject: [Pibe-division] question about tactiles<br>

<br>
I am working with a 7th grade student who is in the process of<br>
learning braille. He likes tactiles. In science they are studying<br>
weather and weather patterns. There are maps showing air pressure,<br>
air speed, and frontal movement across the U.S. My first question is<br>
are there braille symbols for air speed and pressure and similar<br>
symbols. My second question is how to show these on a map of the U.S.<br>
I hoped APH TGIL would be helpful but it was not.<br>
<br>
I appreciate all of your help.<br>
<br>
