Mötespunkt för pedagoger att dela naturvetenskapliga idéer
There are millions of smart containers called geocaches hidden in almost every country on earth, just waiting to be found. There are probably some close to you right now.
If you want to try, you can try either Geocaching, a slightly simpler app in the free version or Cachly, a slightly more advanced app for some euros.
Are you out in the forest and want to look closer on something. Try to use an magnifying app on your Ipad. With eMagnifier can you even save photos from what you looked at.
Try to see if the children are able to locate themselves out of a picture. Try GeoGuesser that will present you a photo from GoogleMaps and the n you have to guess as close as possible.
With The Human Body app are you able to together look at the human body, hear the heart beat, the intestines gargle…
There is also an additional manual to download for more in depth explanations.
Interesting ”to play with” is that you can get the app to ”fly over” a city and show how it looks. However, this only applies to larger cities.
If the children have been travelling, it can be fun to see where it is and how it looks.
Keep in mind that the time to go there says more than the distance in kilometers for the children.
Then one can go really close to studying some detail of the body in depth.
Twinkl is a site with a load of resources (all in english), sorted in age categories and by subjects. There you find lessonsplans and other material.
Twinkl är en samlingssite för massa resurser (allt på engelska), sorterat i ålderskategorier och efter ämnen. Det finns lektionsplaneringar och annat material.
Do you want to show how the plant grows, or how a flower opens up? As you know, it goes pretty slowly. Then try a so-called TimeLapse app that makes the process seem much faster.
Three apps to try are LapseIT, Osnap! eller iMotion.
The last one can also create stop-motion movies, i.e. put together individual pictures so that it becomes like a movie.
Tip: Try to put your iPad in the same place every day in a window and take a picture. If you put it together you get a picture of how the weather has changed throughout the school year!
