What mobile apps are available for your subject
area? Science involves everything
around us so there are many mobile apps available for science teachers to
incorporate into lessons in the classroom. One of my favorites is NOVA Elements app. Through this app, students can access an
interactive periodic table of elements to learn fun facts about elements. Another app
that I find useful is Frog Dissection.
This app gives students an alternative to actually having to cut on a
real frog. It has 3D pictures and
dissection tools. Expedition White Shark app is another one that gives photos and
uses satellites to track tagged sharks as they swim all over the world. 3D cell is a good one for Biology students. This app allows students to look at the cell
on all sides and study the organelles.
Also, it has videos for students to watch. Mitosis is also a good app for Biology students. It has images of cells dividing under the
microscope and students can actually see what happens in each phase. Pocket Heart is an app for Anatomy students that gives a 3D images of the heart and can help with review
for exam on the heart.
I really like the idea of the Dissecting Frog app. That is something I would opt for as a student because I am terrified of frogs and toads, some sort of weird phobia!
ReplyDeleteI agree.. as a teacher I really like the NOVA app and the mitosis and anatomy apps. If only they all didn't cost so much per application. But good resources and data.
ReplyDeleteIn a couple of weeks will be dissecting frogs and many of my kids are really scared of them. This seems like a great way to overcome this situation....virtual is the way to go!
