This article shows some great modifications for visually impaired students. The author created 3-D models of cells that could be manipulated and would normally be viewed under the microscope. She also had a Punnett square model that would be useful for all students as a kinesthetic activity. I plan on using these modifications in my high school biology class this year.

This article provides some excellent 3-D model ideas to help visually-impaired students learn about several different life science concepts. The author became concerned when she learned she had a blind student enrolled in one of her biology classes one semester. The article utilizes inexpensive materials such as puff paint to create the 3-D models. As an added bonus the author discovered that the models helped all of her students increase their knowledge about the various concepts being studied.
