Mastering Geographic Locations is a Gift of a Lifetime

It takes a globe to understand what "spaceship Earth" is actually like. This one-foot diameter globe is made of smooth, white plastic with the water areas flat and the land areas in raised relief. It can be explored tactually or marked with one of our 20/20 Pens for low vision students. The two halves of the globe are detachable creating a ridge around the equator. This ridge can be used as a helpful point of reference while examining the globe. It comes with a plastic disk that can be inserted between the two halves of the globe to show the layers of our Earth's core and atmosphere visually. This plastic disk can be labeled in Braille using our Clear Labels.

Includes a comprehensive teacher's guide. The Mangolds have included a list of helpful suggestions on how to introduce a student with visual impairments to the Tactile World Globe.
