How to Teach Science to Visually Impaired Students

Students who are blind or visually impaired need science instruction that relies on other senses. You can teach science concepts to visually impaired students using touch, smell and hearing. Adapt lesson plans to include science projects and experiments for visually impaired students. Students who are visually impaired can learn science in the classroom with patience and accommodation.

      Create measuring tools for students by modifying existing equipment. Place a drop of school glue on each unit of measure on rulers. Squeeze a long line of glue for inches and a shorter line on each half-inch mark. Place a drop of glue on each quarter-inch measure. Mark units of measure on beakers using waterproof glue.

      Teach chemistry to visually impaired students using a colorimeter and a computer program. Convert chemical reactions that result in color changes to a Braille output. Use extra-large computer screens with high contrast for students who are visually impaired, but not completely blind.
