The APH Museum is closed, and our Factory Tours have stopped as we begin construction for our museum expansion. You can continue to explore our collection online at APHmuseum.org.
Sense of Science is a unique series designed to make the world of science accessible, understandable, and enjoyable.
The main component in each Sense of Science kit from APH is a set of colorful, raised-line overlays designed to be used with a light box, or as stand-alone items. An accompanying guidebook suggests activities using the overlays and supplemental teacher-provided materials to enhance and extend the learning experience.
Three modules are currently available, Sense of Science: Plants, Sense of Science: Animals, and Sense of Science: Astronomy. Additional modules will be available in the future.
Sense of Science: Animals is the second module of this tactile/visual hands-on series. Activities incorporate a learning objective, a list of vocabulary and needed materials, an initial inquiry, a step-by-step procedure, an extended activity, a visual adaptation, math and language connections, and a science tidbit. Activities are also provided using the accompanying overlays.
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 an 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 (sold separately).
Two trays.
Note: Mini-Lite Box depicted in the above photo is sold separately.
