DNA Twist: DNA Twist is a model, available through APH, that demonstrates the structure of the DNA molecule in a way that is accessible to students who are blind and visually impaired. $57.00

DNA-RNA KIT:  The DNA-RNA Kit is an accessible, interactive model that demonstrates the formation of single and double strands of DNA, DNA replication, and transcription of DNA to messenger RNA.  $127.00  

Draw2Measure Protractor App (for iOS devices) (Free app): This app gives all students an alternative way to measure angles. It works with devices running iOS 8 or later. Students can place an angle over the screen of a phone or tablet, and trace along the sides of the angle with a fingertip or stylus. The app records the locations of the sides and then calculates the angle. For objects that may not fit on a screen, students can find measurements by rotating the device itself, which utilizes the built-in gyroscope sensor to measure the angle
