Teachers' Voice
A high school science teacher's perspective on accommodating the
needs of students with disabilities in the earth sciences.
Virtual Dice
An accessible virtual dice tool that allows students to roll up to twenty
6-sided digital dice per roll.
Soil Protocols
These soil protocols were derived from NASA's GLOBE
program, which is designed to promote interest in the earth sciences for students at
the primary and secondary school levels. The diagrams show modifications of the
existing protocols to fit the needs of students with a variety of
disabilities, including visual, hearing, and mobility impairments, as well
as learning disabilities. All protocols were designed using Inspiration
Software and strive for "low tech" options for teachers whenever possible.
This project was funded through a grant from the Maine Space Grant
Consortium to Professor Samantha Langley-Turnbaugh
of the Environmental Science and Policy Program and Kate Murphy,
undergraduate student, both at the University of Southern Maine.
