Fossil Apps
The following are two apps that students enjoyed when we learned about fossils after school on Monday:
Dino Digger ($.99) In this app the player slides a couple fingers back and forth to uncover a dinosaur fossil buried in the sand. When most of the fossils are visible the dinosaur comes together and players can then see what the dinosaur would look and sound like. Students enjoyed listening to the sounds of the different dinosaurs and became good at recognizing what fossils created what dinosaurs. I would recommend this app, simple and players had fun with it!
Tools4Students ($.99) This app provides graphic organizers that only work on the iPad. To add onto this activity students could use the an organizer and choose two dinosaurs to compare and contrast. Below I took a screenshot of what that organizer would look like.
