Great game for helping students understand vectors, forces, mass/acceleration relationships, solar systems. It would take a teacher willing to let students explore some (and maybe have some fun) but very easy to connect vector forces to the activity.

If you are using iPads in the classroom this is a nice list of usable apps. It's a nice way of narrowing the search for some app categories.

Contraption game, great for problem solving, logic, and fun! Doesn't address specific core content, but does offer students opportunity to explore, build, and persevere in problem solving situations. Great extra credit link. I think having students build models, share with the class, and make the goal to have lots of different examples to embed in a class wiki would be awesome!

A slideshow from the book Field Notes on Science and Nature. I great example of some of the kinds of writing that scientists do. Great examples and a great place to have students to start making observations of their own about the things they see in the world around them. Students need to be allowed to make these same kinds of observations if we want to develop their interest and passion for math and science.

they brainstormed a list of tasks that they'd like the ELL students to be able to do with the tool. The list included support for textbooks in audio format, access to English language movies and videos, and internet access both at school and off campus (whether at home or a local WiFi hotspot).

from a teacher's perspective, it was extremely important that the tool allow students to record their voice so that their fluency could be monitored," explains Jennifer Wivagg, Comal ISD's instructional media specialist. "We needed a device that would allow them to make recordings at home. We also needed the tool to include translators, dictionaries, and other language-based tools that are important for an ESL student, and to be small enough for the students to carry in their pocket, so they have constant access to these important resources."

The typical student at the Newcomer Center, an alternative school in Township High School District 214 in Arlington Heights, IL, is a recent immigrant with little or no English skills. The school is a temporary stopover for these students--they stay at the center for about a year, building up their English-language skills, and are then transferred to an ESL program at their home school in the district.

Great new number sense math app. Cost $0.99 at this time but uses: the capabilities of the iPhone well (motion, graphics), multiple representations including linear and circle models, decimals, fractions, percents. Is fast moving and progresses beyond 0 to 1 to have students estimating values like 0.26 on a number line from 0 to 2.
