(Louis) OpenSciEd, Unit 6.5, Natural Hazards

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026

This is a braille-format version of the OpenSciEd 6th-grade science curriculum unit on Natural Hazards (Unit 6.5), produced by the American Printing House for the Blind. It gives students who are blind or have low vision access to the same Next Generation Science Standards-aligned content their sighted peers use, presented in tactile braille format. This is a complete curriculum unit — the braille materials are the deliverable — though teachers and TVIs (Teachers of the Visually Impaired) will need to integrate it alongside any tactile graphics or supplemental lab materials the unit requires. Federal Quota funds are available, which is the primary mechanism most school programs use to purchase APH materials; check your state's quota balance before ordering.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Distribute braille volumes to the student for reading alongside classroom instruction.
• With professional help
  
  1. A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or braille specialist should review materials before the unit begins to identify any supplemental tactile graphics or adapted lab activities needed.
  2. Coordinate with the classroom science teacher to align pacing and any additional accessible materials. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
