Touch, Label, and Learn Human Skeleton

Touch, Label, and Learn Human Skeleton This product provides an interactive presentation for reviewing the names, locations, and relationships of human skeletal bones. The poster is ideal for use by students with visual impairments and blindness in a classroom setting with sighted peers.

Touch, Label, and Learn Human Skeleton Using the provided print/braille labels, a student can build a key that correctly corresponds with the numbered parts of the human skeleton. The poster is best used in combination with the included 3-dimensional model of the human skeleton. A self-checking "Skeleton Answer Key" with permanent name labels is included.

Basic Tactile Anatomy Atlas

Basic Tactile Anatomy Atlas This two-volume set of thermoformed tactile graphics gives a comprehensive overview of the body. Includes the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Each tactual diagram has braille and print labels accompanied by a brief braille description. A print version of each brailled text is contained in the included Instructional Text.

Life Science Tactile Graphics

Life Science Tactile Graphics A collection of 56 vacuum-formed, full-color raised-line tactile graphics intended to supplement the figures and diagrams in life science textbooks.  Life Science Tactile Graphics depict organisms, processes, concepts, and patterns which are typically covered in middle-and high school life science courses.

DNA Twist

DNA Twist DNA Twist is a model that demonstrates the structure of the DNA molecule in a way that is accessible to students who are blind and visually impaired. It incorporates contrasting colors and textures, and easily twists to form the familiar double-helix configuration of a DNA molecule. A short instruction booklet provides information about DNA and educational resources.

DNA-RNA Kit

DNA-RNA Kit The DNA-RNA Kit is an accessible interactive model that demonstrates introductory molecular biology concepts, including the formation of single and double strands of DNA, DNA replication, and transcription of DNA to messenger RNA.

DNA-RNA Kit The model consists of interlocking jigsaw puzzle-like pieces that represent nucleotides, which are the subunits of DNA and RNA. These subunits are accessible to all students and have color, large print, braille, and tactile indicators for the phosphate, sugar, and base (A, C, G, T, and U) components of all nucleotides.

Protein Synthesis Kit

Protein Synthesis Kit This kit builds upon the APH DNA-RNA Kit and provides students who are blind and visually impaired with another sturdy and dependable model for molecular biology. The Protein Synthesis Kit is an accessible, interactive model that adds to the molecular biology concepts introduced by the DNA-RNA Kit. After a messenger RNA molecule is prepared with the DNA-RNA Kit, students decode the RNA nucleotide sequence and build transfer RNA molecules that carry amino acids in the correct sequence.

Protein Synthesis Kit The Protein Synthesis Kit includes jigsaw puzzle-like pieces representing transfer RNA nucleotides, Stop and Start subunits, all twenty amino acids, and the APH Genetic Code Large Print Braille. The nucleotide subunits have color, large print, braille, and tactile indicators for the sugar and base (A, C, G, and U) components of the transfer RNA nucleotides. The amino acids are identified by shape, braille, and large print. Start and Stop subunits are identified by shape, tactile indicators, large print, and braille

Tactile Punnett Squares Sheets

Tactile Punnett Squares Sheets These sheets are accessible versions of the Punnett square, a diagram that is used to predict the outcome of a particular genetic cross or breeding experiment. It is used by biologists to determine the probability of offspring genotypes.

Basic Science Tactile Graphics

Basic Science Tactile Graphics Vacuum-formed raised-line drawings are intended to supplement, not replace, the graphics in a student’s adapted textbook.  Basic Science Tactile Graphics drawings depict objects, concepts, and relationships that are covered in nearly all elementary science textbooks. The drawings in Basic Science Tactile Graphics employ several types of lines and textures, as well as different heights. The lines and areas with the highest relief signify the most important features in a diagram.

Tactile Demonstration Thermometer

Tactile Demonstration Thermometer Allows students to independently read, set, and compare temperatures. • A two-textured, two-colored adjustable mercury column with an easy-grip tactile indicator • Comparable Fahrenheit and Celsius scales presented in both large print and braille • Tactile degree markings every 5 and 10 degrees   Mercury column slides up and down to demonstrate temperature reading.
