"Smart Alarm For iOS Uses The Science of Sleep Cycles To Wake You Up At The Right Time"

"Science is one of those subjects that really excite students because they get to see cause and effect, they get to create, record and then document results and they get to manipulate the variables that produce the data. Students then get to make connections between what they do and the real world.
Add an iPad, a series of carefully chosen apps and a couple of probes and you can make all of these observations happen in a mobile environment - outside, at home or even on an excursion. I would love to be a student in a classroom with these tools!"

"The Elements: A Visual Exploration, by Theodore Gray, is a simply stunning iPad app with mesmerising high-definition graphics, videos, and detailed information for every element in the Periodic Table. While users can't copy information out of the app, it is possible to save screenshots.

This app is available in American and British English versions, and is translated into French, German, and Japanese (check the description)."

"Look at this letter: "O". Closely. Does it look like a perfect curve? A little jagged? A little bit scraggly around the edges? You might as well enjoy these boxy jig jags while you can because the rumors are true: Apple's about to unveil its iPad 3 "Retina" display and banish the pixel forever!"

Exploriments are simulation-based interactive learning units for enhancing conceptual understanding in Science and Math in an experiential manner. Useful for students and teachers alike, Exploriments provide a highly interactive, exploratory, and engaging experience.

I'm going to return to my roots as an edtech blogger for a moment and recap this past semester's iPad deployment project, so those of you used to reading my notes about SBG will have to wait for the next post."

"Every month, we review some of our favorite educational apps that have been released or updated. You can find all the posts in our series here. Below you'll find a mixture of iOS, Android and Web-based apps"

"Student's from NYU's SHERP (Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program) graduate program in the Carter Journalism Institute have released a free interactive iPad app to accompany the department's online magazine Scienceline."

"the range of apps available in science, combined with form factor and ease of use of most iOS tools, makes the iPad an amazing tool for scientific investigation and learning. I wish I could show you all of the amazing science you can explore with the tens of thousands of science specific apps available in the iTunes store, but this journal isn't long enough, and I don't want to upset our wonderful editor. So, here are a few apps that can change the way kids learn science."

"Can you record what you see in a microscope using an iDevice. One of the Science teachers came into the staff room very excited yesterday. She had been working with her senior science class with the normal light microscope looking at red and white blood cells at 400X. They were discussing how they could document their experiment. One of her students just grabbed his iPhone, placed it on the eyepiece of the microscope and took a photograph. Here are the resulting images."
