Periodic Table Tools

Azer’s Interactive Periodic Table Study Set (Nemeth)

This interactive periodic table study set is designed to make learning about the Periodic Table of the Elements accessible to students with visual impairments and blindness. The tangible materials included with this study set complement APH’s Periodic Table of the Elements Reference Chart and allow students to enhance their understanding of concepts consistent with the National Science Standards.

Note: The braille guidebook is sold separately. Some assembly required – the customer affixes a single round loop fastener to the back of each element piece and accessory before using with the provided tri-fold board.
