The Handheld Signing Math & Science Dictionaries for Deaf
and Hard of Hearing Museum Visitors Research Project

This video clip shows a family doing the "View from Space" activity. The hearing mother points to the term space on the information panel and prompts her deaf daughter to look it up in the dictionary. The mother helps the child locate the term while other family members also look it up. After she locates the term, the mother shows her daughter how to click on the icon to see an illustration. The child watches the signed term and says, "Oh, that's "space"....ok!" She then continues to do the activity.

Dictionary Use: The family watches a term being signed to learn the sign for the term. The child uses the illustration to understand the meaning of the term.
