In this work, we report a didactic-pedagogical experiment conducted in a class of Instrumentation for Teaching of Chemistry from the Chemistry teaching program at the Federal University of Maranhão. For coursework final project, students should design and build small equipment to aid the teaching of chemistry to students with visual impairment. The class was composed of eight students who presented their equipment. One of the students excelled in implementing the activity, producing a single-pan scale and a liquid volume meter, which can be easily used by students with visual impairment. Herein, we demonstrate how the equipment was made and how they can be used, by following an experimental procedure proposed by the student from the Chemistry teaching program.
