What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a replacement set of tactile plant organelle pieces for APH's Build-A-Cell kit, a hands-on science learning tool designed for students who are blind or have low vision. The original Build-A-Cell activity lets students physically assemble a model cell using raised, textured components representing organelles — this listing replaces those pieces if they're lost or worn. You'll need the primary Build-A-Cell kit (catalog 1-08974-00) for this to be useful; these organelle pieces don't function as a standalone activity. Federal Quota funds are available, which means students in the US who are blind or visually impaired may be able to obtain this through their state's APH quota allocation at no direct cost to the school.
