The graphic shows a side view of a fish. External features include the eye, mouth, tail, and dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins. A cutaway of the fish body reveals internal structures including gills, heart, liver, swim bladder, stomach, intestine, and urinary bladder.
The graphic shows a double strand of DNA with two paired nucleotide bases (A and T) that is unwinding into two strands with the help of an enzyme where the separation begins. The single strands each participate in the formation of two new double strands resulting from base pairing with free nucleotides: G pairs with C, C pairs with G, A pairs with T, and T pairs with A.
The top image shows a view of a monocot seed. The seed coat encloses internal structures including endosperm, cotyledon, and embryo. The lower image shows a view of a dicot seed. The seed coat encloses the cotyledons and embryo.
The neuron is a single cell with three different areas. On the left is the cell body that branches into dendrites and contains a round nucleus in the center. The dendrites converge to the axon, a single projection located in the middle of the cell covered In three regions of fat material. On the right side of the cell the axon diverges to form the axon terminals which are branching structures with expanded tips. The graphic also shows how nerve impulses move from the left (dendrites) to the right (axon terminals).
Arrows pointing to aboveground and belowground parts of a plant show how water moves into the roots and out of the leaves, oxygen moves out of the leaves, and carbon dioxide moves into the leaves.
The graphic shows how the reproductive cycle of a virus requires a living host cell. Stage 1: the virus attaches to the host cell; Stage 2: Viral DNA enters the host cell; Stage 3: the host cell produces many copies of viral DNA; Stage 4: New viral particles are assembled in the host cell; Stage 5: Viral particles are released from the host cell.

Product Description

A collection of 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.

About the Tactile Graphics
The drawings in Life Science Tactile Graphics employ several types of lines and textures, as well as different heights.
Braille labels are provided on the drawings, but you may easily add to or change the labels by creating self-adhesive braille labels of your own.

Teaching Suggestions
Instructional hints and suggestions are given for each tactile drawing. The goal of the suggestions is to help make science learning real for students who are not using standard printed images.

These graphics help demonstrate concepts in science just as print images do, but to be effective, they depend on a foundation of tactile reading skills, students’ hands-on experiences, and verbal description you provide.

Includes 

  • 56 full-color tactile diagrams on durable vacuum-formed plastic
  • Teacher’s Guide in large print
  • Sturdy three-ring storage binder

 

Note: Braille labels conform to English Braille American Edition (EBAE) rules.
