Time
Around 1–2 hours, at your own pace
You'll create
An accessible activity plan (Markdown + print)
A worked example: magnetic sorting lab

Class 6 · Exploring magnetic materials. Learners predict, test and group objects by whether a magnet attracts them. This illustrative plan needs Vision Empower review before use.

Materials: large magnet, large wooden and steel objects with smooth edges, two trays and tactile tray labels. Facilitator checks size, edges and magnet handling.

  1. Orient the learner to the trays and offer time to explore each object.
  2. Ask the learner to predict attraction, then move the magnet towards each object and feel the pull.
  3. Sort by the observed result. Invite an explanation and test a new object.

Access: verbal orientation and optional tactile labels; high contrast for low vision; learner chooses whether to handle or direct the experiment. No colour-only grouping.

Evidence: the learner sorts an unfamiliar object and explains the test. Tags: magnetism, material properties, prediction.

Your path through the studio

  1. How children learn. Understand how children with visual impairment learn, before you design.
  2. Class. Choose the class your activity is for.
  3. Learning outcome. Choose one NCERT learning outcome for this class.
  4. Where it's played. Tell us who will run this activity, so it is designed around the materials they actually have.
  5. Your brief. Check your choices before you design.
  6. Get ideas. Copy the complete brief into an AI assistant for two ready-to-edit options, or design it yourself.
  7. Write the activity. Write or paste your activity. Keep it simple enough that a busy teacher can run it from this page alone.
  8. Review it. Review the activity with Vision Empower's two-pass checklist.
  9. Poster (optional). Optional: turn your activity into a one-page visual guide with an AI image tool.
  10. Review & publish. See your activity as a teacher will, then publish it to Vision Empower.
