視覺往往主宰著我們的空間感知，要建立有用的認知地圖，必須對空間有豐富的生活體驗，那麼對於天生失明的人來說， 該如何學習地理科學知識呢？當「大腦中的形象」與「物理性的空間」 一致時，大腦越能過得自在且沒有壓力，並且有效地打造出物理性空間。
探索式科學教具的特色在於提供了一種全新的學習體驗，將抽象的宏觀概念轉化為俯瞰式的三次元地形模型。從嶙峋的山脈到廣闊的海洋，從沿海口的魚塭到物種豐富的河海口交界，每一個紋路細節都讓他們更加理解地理科學的生物多樣性。小學自然科學的課本內容搭配視障生專屬對應紋路，不僅將幫助視障學生理解地理環境的對應位置，感受到地形起伏變化，更能夠建立對空間的深刻印象。通過觸摸和探索，盲生在探索學習的過程中，能夠擴展自己的知識領域，同時啟發自己的好奇心和創造力，感知海洋深處的奧秘，並將融入自己的學習體驗中。
Vision often dominates our perception of space. To build useful cognitive maps, rich experiential encounters with space are crucial. However, for individuals born blind, learning geographical scientific knowledge becomes a unique challenge. When the "mental imagery" aligns with the "physical space," the brain feels more comfortable and can construct a physical space.
The distinctive feature of exploratory science tools lies in offering a novel learning experience, translating abstract macroscopic concepts into overhead three-dimensional terrain models. From rugged mountains to vast oceans, from coastal fish ponds to species-rich river estuaries, every detail of the terrain enhances their understanding of the biological diversity in geographical science. Primary school natural science textbooks, paired with tactile guides for visually impaired students, not only aid their comprehension of geographical locations but also enable them to feel the terrain's variations vividly, thus establishing a profound spatial impression.
Through tactile exploration, blind students expand their knowledge domains, ignite their curiosity and creativity, perceive the mysteries of the ocean depths, and integrate them into their learning experiences.
