Combine Wind Turbines to Power a Light Bulb

Low Vision

Request and encourage student input on how to best accommodate the student's learning needs.

Consider the position, lighting, and seating needs of the student during presentations or when using text, manipulatives, transparencies or other projected images.

Consider having the student work with a partner and providing extra assistance if this activity presents significant challenges.

Blindness

Request and encourage student input on how to best accommodate the student's learning needs.

Use tactile accommodations of graphic materials:

• Tools for creating raised-line drawings can be found at the American Printing House for the Blind.
• One method for drawing tactile lines on a map or diagram is to go over the lines with a pattern tracing wheel; to do this effectively, put something soft under the drawing or map first.
• Raised-line drawings can be created with fabric paint, a glue gun, or other commercially available materials, such as Wikki Stix.
• Additional information is available at Access2Science.

Consider having the student work with a partner and providing extra assistance if this activity presents significant challenges.

Hearing Impairments

Request and encourage student input on how to best accommodate the student's learning needs.

Provide a sign language interpreter, real-time captioning, and/or an FM system.

Mobility Impairments

Request and encourage student input on how to best accommodate the student's learning needs.

Because this unit involves manipulation of small objects, make adjustments for a student with upper body mobility impairment or fine motor coordination issues; sometimes working with a partner is effective. Also, consult lab design recommendations for students with mobility impairments at AssisTech.

Health Impairments
