[Nfb-science] Accessible Lab

[BJ]

Please share all suggestions for assistance on this topic.  I am a high 
school teacher wishing to make science accessible to all students.  Every 
suggestion that has worked for a student in the past, could work for a 
student in the future.

I want students to be able to work independently as well as in groups.  Many 
of the suggestions are to pair with sighted partner.  That is appropriate 
sometimes, as that is what is done in many labs--group work.

Thanks!

Barbara
