Hello, fellow Federationists,
?
It's hard to believe that we are almost ready to celebrate Memorial Day! We
will have a busy summer!
?
The affiliate board of directors quarterly meeting will be Saturday, May 26
at Phoenix Baptist Hospital from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
?
All are welcome to
observe our board at work!
?
We will lunch at the cafeteria, (at each
member's cost) and the Arizona Association of Blind Students will hold a
brief and frenzied Dutch auction.
?
We will discuss a number of matters,
including national convention and our state convention.
?
We will hold our
state convention the weekend of September 8 at the Fiesta Inn in Tempe.
?
We
will send out specific information following our board meeting.
?
You will be
welcome at our meeting.
?
Upcoming events -
?
The second annual Dan Duffy Memorial Bowl-a-thon will take place Saturday,
June 9 from 10:00 AM through 2 PM at the

Squaw Peak AMF Bowling Lanes.
The lanes are located at 3049 E. Indian School Rd, Phoenix. The cost of
bowling (shoes and 3 games) is $8.75 per person.
?
We have 10 lanes available
to us.
?
A social time when participants can lunch will be made available
after bowling, location to be announced.
? ?
Don't forget this is a
fundraiser, not just a social outing, so request cash sponsorships from
friends, neighbors, and others for your participation in this event.

Experimenting with Science Labs
by Arielle Silverman
Editors' Introduction: It is no mystery that our country spends a large
amount of money to enhance interest and study in the areas of math and
science.
The average student might be persuaded to enter these fields. However, for a
blind student, such interests might be inhibited by the misconception that
blind people can't play an active role in a science lab.
Arielle Silverman is a senior at Arizona State University, majoring in
Biology and Psychology. She plans to pursue graduate work in social
psychology. She is the president of AABS, as well as a member of the state
affiliates board. In this article, she proves the hypothesis that blind
students really can dedicate their talents to whatever field they choose.
One October afternoon about two years ago, my biology lab received a rather
interesting assignment. We were divided into groups of four and given an
aquarium containing ten crickets. We were to observe the crickets for ten
minutes; then, we were to design and carry out an experiment testing some
notable aspect of the crickets' behavior.
The crickets made little noise besides their characteristic chirping, so
most of our observations were visual. Though I could not see the crickets, I
was working with three energetic girls who provided a detailed explanation
of the crickets' every move. Before long, all four of us noted a pattern:
The females eagerly jumped on top of both each other and the males, but the
males did not seek physical contact with others. Therefore, we decided to
vary the ratio of males to females and observe how frequently the crickets
jumped on top of one another. I did not physically manipulate the crickets,
but I was involved in the design of the experiment, and I recorded the data
in my Braille Note. Sure enough, as we added female crickets to the mix, the
number of "touching events" between the crickets increased. This finding by
itself might not be very exciting, but it was a good example of the
scientific method, which is what college science labs are really about.
As a biology major, I have now completed two biology and two chemistry labs.
Before starting college, I worried about how I, as a totally blind student,
could participate actively in the labs. After all, I cannot read chemical
bottles or measuring instruments, nor can I look at cells under a
microscope.
However, I discovered that lab work is not about sight but about
understanding and applying the science. By using what I learned in the
lecture portions of my biology and chemistry classes, I found that I could
participate in the labs along with my sighted classmates.
Most of the labs were done in groups, so my main strategy was to understand
the material at least as well as my lab partners. By doing this, I could
both help and lead my group in planning our experiments and interpreting our
data. In addition, I was always expected to pull my weight in writing the
lab reports, even sections that were graphical in nature.
A few of our lab assignments were individual. For these, I chose to work
with a science graduate student that my university hired as a lab assistant.
For example, the assistant helped me when I needed to know how a chemical
solution looked or when I had to present my data on a poster. Some
assignments, though were fully accessible without the assistant. In one
project, I grew corn plants in my dorm room and tested whether praying would
affect the height of the
plants. I measured the main leaf of each corn plant using a Braille ruler
and compared the lengths of the prayed-for and not-prayed-for plants. It was
fun to gather my own data without any sighted assistance. While I enjoyed
working with the hired lab assistant, I think that I could have done just as
well on my own or if I had hired my own reader.
Looking back, I would say that my lab courses were challenging, not because
of my blindness, but because labs are meant to stretch one's thinking
skills. The labs have taught me much about biology and chemistry. More
importantly, though, they have showed me that a blind student can
participate actively in any course. The most important technique for any
student, blind or sighted, is to study hard and be familiar with the course
material. Once that is achieved,
the rest is just a matter of creativity and, sometimes, teamwork.
