Maps

Ipad has a good map app already installed.

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.

Are Things Too Slow?

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!

Welcome

Welcome to Science EdLogo for ScienceEd.

a meeting point for educators to share ideas around STEM
Here it is supposed to grow an database of ideas  to work with science at preschool and kindergarten.
The idea is that ideas, links to resources, research resources and what else that could inspire to work in science are crowded here.
You are more than welcome to drop in your own thoughts here.

My intention is to keep it up to date in English, only links  to resources totally in Swedish will I not translate for you.

 

Går saker för långsamt?

Vill du visa hur plantan växer, eller hur en blomma öppnar sig? Som du vet går det rätt långsamt. Pröva då en så kallad TimeLapse app som får processen att verka mycket snabbare.

Tre appar att pröva är LapseIT,  Osnap! eller iMotion.

Den sista kan dessutom skapa stop-motion filmer, dvs lägga ihop enskilda bilder så att det blir som en film.

Tips: Pröva att sätt din iPad på samma ställe varje dag i ett fönster och ta en bild. Sätter du ihop det får du en bild av hur vädret har växlat under hela skolåret!
