Hands-on chemistry experiments often stimulate students' curiosity about this subject, but blind or visually impaired (BVI) students usually do not get to participate in such hands-on activities. Thanks to adaptive methods and assisting technology, BVI students can actively participate in chemistry experiments. In this study, chemical laboratory experiments were modified and tested on BVI students. These adaptations use Sci-Voice Talking LabQuest, associated sensors, and other tactile tools. This article explains the procedures to conduct the experiments and presents practical ways to introduce assistive technology to enhance learning. We encourage accommodating Arabic language into the Sci-Voice Talking LabQuest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
