Syringe, 50 mL with stop http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph $4.70 The 50-ml syringe has been modified with a metal stop so that when the plunger is pulled all the way to the stop, exactly 50 ml of liquid has been measured. By pushing down on the plunger from the 50-ml position until the notch in the middle of the plunger reaches the top of the plunger, 25 ml of liquid is measured. Syringe, 50 mL modified for acid test http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph $4.70 This syringe was specifically developed. Note the differences between this syringe and the 50-ml syringe with stop. This plunger in this syringe is removable. There are also measurement notches on the plunger to assist students in determining how much gas was created by an acid and baking soda reaction. The top notch allows students to accurately measure 5 ml of acid. Volume Tube http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph $5.50 Students investigate how much gas is created by the interaction of yeast with several different foods, including animal crackers. The volume tube is used to measure the volume of gas. Funnel Stand http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph/ $11.95 The SAVI/SELPH funnel stand provides a stable tool for all students to use. The three wooden legs are removable, and the plastic funnel is easily cleaned. Liquid measure in milliliters http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph $4.50 This 50-ml graduate includes a tactile floating scale for use by students with visual impairments. The cylinder is used with the 50-ml syringe to measure small volumes of liquid. Students add liquid to the cylinder, and the float is dropped in. By pinching the scale at the spot where the scale intersects the cylinder rim, pulling out the scale, and then counting down from the top notch (0 mark) to the pinch spot, students can measure liquid volume to the nearest 2 ml. Histogram Board http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/cml/saviselph $5 This tactile histogram board allows students to use rubber dots to record numbers of items. The board can be used by visually-impaired students for other mathrelated activities.

Includes: A large print guidebook (Braille edition available separately) with easy-to-follow activities, a glossary, list of resources, and bibliography of related children’s books. A variety of visual and tactile overlays, such as ant, bird, fish, life cycle of a frog, etc. that can be used alone or with the optional APH Light Box or Mini-Lite Box. Two trays designed to slip snugly under a light box ledge and provide a secure working area for using the overlays. Basic Science Tactile Graphics http://www.aph.org p.60 1-08850-00$72 Basic Science Tactile Graphics are vacuum-formed raised-line drawings depicting objects, concepts, and relationships that are covered in nearly all elementary science textbooks.
