Science Apps
You can now find apps to support content delivery in nearly any scientific field--through animations, videos, demonstrations, interactive lessons, digital textbooks and quizzes.
With its built in camera, microphone, accelerometer, magnetometer and GPS, the iPad is a great tool for collecting data. There are a number of apps available that assist with data collection and analysis, ranging from Vernier's Video Analysis to a bacterial Colony Counter. Additionally, both Vernier and Pasco now offer probeware interfaces that wirelessly interact with iPads. Although many of the great web-based interactives and simulations still only run using Flash and Java, many organizations and publishers are in the process of updating and converting their materials to make them iOS-compatible. Keep your eyes open for the release of new PhET simulation apps at the start of the new year! |
