This resource is a field trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Students can tour the gardens, learn about plants, and take classes. I chose this because it would give the students an opportunity to see the plants that they are learning about in real life. I would use this field trip as a supplement to a unit about plants.

This is a field trip resource to the St. Louis Science Center, which allows students to see science in real life and go through simulations. I chose this resource because I think that all children enjoy going to the Science Center, and they would be having fun while learning about the content. I would use this as a field trip opportunity.

In this activity, students completely build a habitat. They choose the weather, who lives there, vegetation, etc. The game has a compatibility meter that tells them how close they are to building the perfect habitat. I chose this resource because the game tells the student when they are doing well, or if the conditions are not working together. I would use this as a part of a lesson about biology and wildlife.

In this game, students learn about animals, their different characteristics and adaptations, and the habitats they live in. They can also pick and choose parts of animals and put them together to create their own animal. I chose this game because students will learn what animals can survive in different habitats and learn which parts of the animals are most helpful. I would see myself incorporating this into a lesson or using it as an extra activity for students to do at the end of the lesson.

This is an app that teaches students all about dinosaurs. The app shows the user pictures of hundreds of dinosaurs, as well as their sizes, weights, and other stats. I liked this app because many students are interested in dinosaurs and this app will let them explore that interest. I would incorporate this app into a lesson about dinosaurs or prehistoric species.

This app shows the user a picture of the sky that they are viewing, by using a compass. The app tells the user all of the names the constellations, stars, and planets they are seeing. I chose this app because it could help make a real world connection with the students. If I had the opportunity to send iPads home with my students, I would instruct them to use this app at night and make observations about what they see.

In this activity, students are shown a picture of wildlife and are asked to click on eight living things. Students can click on animals or plants. I chose this activity because younger students could use this as a starting point when learning about wildlife. I envision this being used in the lower grades as a beginning activity.

This resource is an interactive tool for students to use in order to learn about the specific characteristics that animals have. The student will click on several animals and read about characteristics of that animal, as well as adaptations that help it survive. Once the student understands the characteristics of the animal, he/she will move the animal to the habitat that best suits it. I really like this resource because it is interactive and will allow the student to learn about animals and their adaptations. I envision this resource to be used at the start of a learning segment, to get the student started with basic concepts.
