<h3 align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Snowbird
Software's "Electric Chemistry Building" <br>
Opens up to Learners with Disabilities </font></h3>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Snowbird Software, based
in Hamilton Ontario, is currently revising its highly adaptable and engaging
chemistry simulation software "Electric Chemistry Building" to include accessibility
features that will provide students with disabilities access to the world
of self-directed chemistry experiments. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">For some students with
disabilities, conducting chemistry experiments may prove difficult. Those
with visual disabilities have difficulty accessing the visual cues offered
by chemical reactions, and cannot utilize traditional methods of measuring
experimental outcomes. For students with mobility disabilities, working with
sometimes dangerous chemicals may be too much of a risk to consider the experiment
a worthwhile learning venture. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Snowbird Software's Electric
Chemistry Building allows users to conduct experiments using any of up to
150 chemicals and different types of experimental apparatus. The simulation
then provides students with readouts of any chemical reactions that take place,
and the weight, size and temperature of reactants. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The accessible version
of the Electric Chemistry Building will include:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<ul>
<li> Full keyboard access</li>
<li>Screen reader compatibility</li>
<li>Speech output where required</li>
<li>High contrast graphics and text </li>
</ul>
</font><p></p>

this project, or to order copies of the Electric Chemistry Building, please
