Science is FUN and all students can participate. Here are some activities, tips, and tricks I have done and learned with teaching Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, and low vision students.
Below are some examples of models and projects that Blind and Low Vision students have done in my classes.
Student Made DNA Model
Low Vision Biology students made a DNA model from a Twizzlers that has been skewered, marshmallows, toothpicks, and pipe cleaners. The model is standing in a funnel that has been turned upside down.
Student Made Cell Model
Blind Life Science students made a model of a plant cell with a shoe box, clay, pipe cleaners, tissue paper, beans, and foam paper.
Student Made Food Webs
Blind Ecology Students made models of food webs with ribbon.
Blind Life Science Students made models of food webs with animal models and wikki sticks.
Student Made Model of the Earth's Layers
Blind Earth Science students made models of the Earth's inner layers using Styrofoam balls, clay and pipe cleaners
