*****************************************************************************

I was contacted by a 5th grade teacher who is currently teaching her
students about the solar system. The class includes visually impaired
children. She asked if materials existed she could use to teach these
students the concepts of the solar system. Is anyone aware of existing
materials that teach a tactile method of the solar system? The teacher
has located posters representing nebulas in relief, but not the planets.
I would appreciate any thoughts you may have to pass along to her and
her class.



Thanks, Paul
