Explore and think: How could you use this in a lesson? What ideas from the app could you use if you dont have iPads in your classroom? Chemistry App Xperica- interactive app that allows students to visually see certain experiments that they are not allowed to experience first hand (i.e bomb calorimetry for specific heat capacity) Biology Resources Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim This site allows you to explore the various chromosomes and genetic disorders. When you get to the
main page, simply click on the Search Database tab and you can choose either specific chromosomes or diseases to research. Its more applicable and might be more practical to use this resource in a high school classroom. Biology and Education Apps Human Cell- Good for students to review the cell! Survival Cell- Game to about different survival mechanisms to survive bio-engineered disease. Blogger- blog where you can have students post their work or comment on science readings, pose questions.
Phonix- Create your own flash cards. Doodle Hangman- Hangman game which can be used during class to have students remember specific scientific vocabulary and make it fun! Anatomy Apps: Meagan 3D Brain- Interactive exploration of the brains structures. Anatomy Browser- Interactive exploration of the GI tract and the body systems. Science 360- Science videos and photographs with descriptions. Allows for connections among science disciplines. Biology App
Cell and Cell Structure - focuses on cell structure and functions. Students can travel into the cell and take a virtual tour of all the parts and their functions. There are also quizzes, word searches, and flashcards available for students to practice. Biology App Video Science- Students can view experiments that involve simple everyday questions most people have. This tool also teaches students how to use materials that are in the classroom to conduct simple experiments. Biology App Teacher's Assistant Pro This application can be used with students of all ages. It is a useful
tool for organizing information on student work and behavior. This can include infractions and achievements. You can communicate with parents and administration. It is also a useful tool for teacher collaboration in that it allows you to share information about student performance and behavior in your classroom.

Educational Program: Jamie Screencast-O-Matic http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ Students can narrate powerpoints or youtube videos and save for future
educational use. Example - Students synthesized a google powerpoint about their dissections and then narrated their own science story Link Traditional Educational Resource, Website and App Sometime teachers decide to get a subscription to science magazines like National geographic or science illustrated. Both of these apps can be downloaded to the iPad, giving the teachers easy access to science magazine and can allow the students to see the videos in the magazine.
