Apps for Science Class
      Stephen Taylor
Today’s SmartPhones are smart…

          With more computing power than Apollo 11 in
          the pockets of many students, we could take
          advantage of these devices in science class!




                                                                                                  2

In our school, most HS students use
Mac and many have iPhones or iPads.

Here are some of my favourite free or really
cheap apps to install to turn your phone
into a super science device.

  experiments staggered and need to
  remember when to record the results
  for each one.




                                                                                                  iTouch

  more timers at the same time.

I really want…




SPARKvue for PASCO Dataloggers
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sparkvue/id361907181?mt=8
Is a free app for datalogging, which allows you to collect data from the
phone’s internal accelerometer. You can even connect many Pasco probes
via bluetooth, as long as you are prepared to buy an expensive adapter.
Apparently the cost is due to the chip required for bluetooth with Apple.

                                                                            25
For more resources.

Science Class Apps for iPhone

  • 1. Apps for Science Class Stephen Taylor
  • 2. Today’s SmartPhones are smart… With more computing power than Apollo 11 in the pockets of many students, we could take advantage of these devices in science class! 2 Apollo 11 Moon Landing image taken from http://history.nasa.gov/ap11ann/kippsphotos/apollo.html
  • 3. In our school, most HS students use Mac and many have iPhones or iPads. Here are some of my favourite free or really cheap apps to install to turn your phone into a super science device. 3 Images taken from the iTunes app store for each app or screenshots from my own iPhone
