Applications

HELPFUL APPLICATIONS!

1.       Spacecraft 3D

This completely free app is one that focuses on the work of NASA. This app allows the user to interact with spacecraft that NASA has created. This app will provide the student with a deeper understanding of the ‘eyes’ we have in space.

2.       Star Walk for iPad – interactive astronomy guide

This app costs a mere $1.99 and I believe it is well worth it. All you have to do is point your iPad toward a constellation, and this app will name it for you. There is a share feature that will allow the viewings to be shared with friends on other apple devices.

3.       SkyView – Explore the Universe

This app is also $1.99. Like Star Walk, this app will name the constellations you point your device to. However, this app will allow the user to take an animated tour of the constellation and learn more about it. This app is very educational.

4.       Science Glossary

This app serves an informational purpose only. It is free. While it is not interactive, I believe it is a great tool for the student to have at their use. It provides a plethora of information for the young growing scientist.

5.       iLearn Solar System HD: Making Science Fun

This app is $2.99. It is more appropriate for a younger age level. It provides illustrations of the planets in the solar system, information about them, and interactive 3D lessons. It is very informational and interactive.
