Exploring Technologies (week4)
After looking at the different math and technology programs were online my two favorites were Celestia and the Virtual Pond Dip. The Celestia program was very informative and allows students to look at each planet as well as the entire solar system as a whole. I think this would be a good tool to use in the classroom if we ever have a unit on the solar system. The second science tool that I thought was so cool, was the Virtual Pond Dip. I wish that I had this when I was in school, I thought it was so cool how you can see the different microorganisms that are in the pond. You can click on different links and it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the different living creatures in the pond. I used this tool for my science/math challenge for the following week and I am excited to use this activity in my future classroom

It seems that the Virtual Pond Dip is a popular one. As I mentioned in Amber's blog, I agree that it would be a great site for students to use.
ReplyDeleteThe Celestia program sounds really cool! I am curious as to whether the site allows viewers to simply see the placement of the heavenly bodies, or whether it shows what each looks like up close. From your description, it sounds like it does both. I'll have to take a look at that!
I loved the virtual pond dip too, it made me think of many different things that could be done with it. See my blog! brittanyple.blogspot.com
