- Abstract
- Sense of Science is a unique series designed to make the world of science accessible, understandable, and enjoyable. The main component in each Sense of Science kit from APH is a set of colorful, raised-line overlays designed to be used with a light box (ordered separately), or as stand-alone items. An accompanying guidebook suggests activities using the overlays and supplemental teacher-provided materials to enhance and extend the learning experience. Unlike previous modules of the Sense of Science series, this set of materials is appropriate for a broader range of ages and grade levels of students with visual impairments and blindness. Activities incorporate a learning objective, a list of vocabulary and needed materials, a step-by-step procedure, extended activities, visual adaptations, math and language connections, and science tidbits. Activities are complemented by the included visual/tactile overlays and fold-out 2-dimensional displays. Not UEB compatible. Kit includes: Carrying Case, LP Guidebook (with 1 CD), 2 Display Trays, 1 folded circular Constellation Chart, 1 folder of Astronomy Worksheets (14pgs each in LP and Braille + 1 CD), 1 folder of Astronomy Quick Fact Cards (11 Braille/LP sheets), 11 folders containing overlays for the following items: Galaxy Types (16 overlays), Orbit of a Comet (2 overlays), Ursa Major/Ursa Minor (2 overlays), Lunar Eclipse (2 overlays), Planetary Orbits (2 overlays), Solar Eclipse (2 overlays), Phases of the Moon (2 overlays), Space Shuttle (2 overlays), Milky Way Galaxy (2 overlays), Cross-Section of the Sun (2 overlays), Moon Phase Cards (32 overlays), 3 folders containing pieces for the following items: Relative Sizes of the Planets (2 pieces), Our Solar System (11 pieces), Relative Distances of the Planets (1 piece)
