Classroom Application
|
science 360 |
Science 360 provides science and engineering images and video from around the globe. It also includes a news feed with breaking news from NSF (National Science Funded) institutions.
|
Teachers can use this app to introduce lessons.
Students can use this app to research and explore various science topics. |
exoplanet |
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our own Solar System. It is frequently updated whenever new discoveries are confirmed. An amazing model of the Milky Way lets you explore our universe all the way from the Solar System to the cosmic microwave background.
|
Students can explore the planets that are outside of our solar system and even view constellations as they appear from the view of other planets.
|
Solar Walk ™ FREE |
Solar Walk ™ FREE - Solar System Planets, Orbits, and Moons with Pictures, Sounds and Lessons
|
Students can use this app to research the Solar system.
|
Sound Uncovered |
Explore the surprising side of sound with Sound Uncovered, an interactive book featuring auditory illusions, acoustic phenomena, and other things that go bump, beep, boom, and vroom.
|
Students can use this to research sound.
|
Science Bear |
Science Bear will help you review the basic concepts from middle school physical science with over 200 questions and links to dozens of videos. Test your knowledge on motion, forces, density, solids, liquids, gases, astronomy, atoms, periodic table, chemistry, and more!
|
This is a content review app that can be used whole class, as teams, or independently.
|
Leaf Snap |
Leafsnap is the first in a series of electronic field guides being developed by researchers from Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institution. This free mobile app uses visual recognition software to help identify tree species from photographs of their leaves.
|
Students can use this app to research and compare different trees.
|
Food Web |
Developed for the SPICE program at The University of Western Australia, the Food Web app lets you play with feeding relationships between unique plants and animals found in Western Australia.
Your goal is to create a complete food web using sets of |
Students can work in teams or individually to create ecosystems and learn how the animals and plants have effects on each other.
|
Nasa |
Use your touch screen to rotate and zoom around 29 interactive structures. Discover how each brain region functions, what happens when it is injured, and how it is involved in mental illness. Each detailed structure comes with information on functions, disorders, brain damage, case studies, and links to modern research.
|
Students can explore on their own or follow space explorations as a class. This is a good research tool.
|
Frog Dissection $ |
Frog Dissection from Punflay, is a greener alternative for teaching dissection in the classroom. This iPad app is suitable for middle-school students who are learning about organs and organ systems as part of their life science curriculum. Students can try dissecting a virtual specimen with all the trappings that come with the real procedure-minus the mess of course! Besides a virtual chloroformed specimen, the app comes with all the dissection tools and detailed instructions to complete the procedure. Once dissection is complete, the frog’s organs are exposed for further study. Vivid 3D images will help students visualize the internal organs very effectively. For enhanced learning experience, the app also has information on the different types of frogs, frogs’ life cycle, anatomical comparison of frogs with humans, an interactive quiz and detailed descriptions of the organs.
|
Earth's Landforms (School) |
A perfect app for an earth science or integrated science course that is designed to engage students to explore the topic of Earth’s landforms, how they change, and how they affect humans. It is designed to address the needs of all students in the topic.
|
Students can use this app as a review or to research what they have been learning in class.
|
Building Parallel Circuits (Lite) |
Using 3D graphics and 2D electronic symbols, you will build simple parallel circuits by using wires, batteries, switches, and light bulbs.
|
By constructing their own closed circuit with two light bulbs, you will develop a deeper understanding of series and parallel circuits and discover that electricity follows the path of least resistance.
