World Maps

By Michael McCarty 

American Printing House for the Blind, Inc.

These thermoformed tactile maps are a comprehensive aid to geographic instruction 
and orientation. This volume contains tactile maps of all the continents, regions, 
and countries of the world. World Maps are reproduced from original high-quality 
works by The Princeton Braillists. They differ from other tactile maps in that they 
use clear variations in height and texture, allowing a greater amount of readable 
information in a given space. Thermoformed on durable 11.5 x 11" vinyl, the 
maps include rivers, mountain ranges, bodies of water, and other physical features. 
Political features include country borders and capital cities. Maps of Russia and 
the 50 U.S. states are presented on larger fold-out pages. The maps are labeled in 
braille, and facing pages have key information in braille and large print.

Sense of Science Series: Plants and Animals

Sense of Science is a unique series designed to make the world of science accessible, understandable, and enjoyable. All learners can benefit from this hands-on, multi-sensory approach, although Sense of Science is recommended for early elementary age students. The main component in each Sense of Science kit is a set of colorful, raised-line overlays designed to be used with a light box, 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. Two modules are currently available, Sense of Science: Plants and Sense of Science: Animals. Additional modules are planned for the future. 

Sense of Science: Plants

Sense of Science: Plants is the first module of a planned science series for visually impaired students in grades K-3, and for other students who may benefit from a multisensory approach to learning. Recommended ages: 5 to 10 years. Includes: -- A large print guidebook (braille edition available separately) with activities to teach basic plant concepts. Activities use real objects and the included colorful, raised-line overlays.

Overlays include bean seed cross-section, flower, leaf, tree, etc. Use with either the APH Light Box or Mini-Lite Box, or stand alone. 

Two accompanying trays designed to fit under a light box ledge and provide a 
secure working area for the overlays.
