Hot Wheels Speedometry is a potentially fun physics/math integration that could be worth a look. There are different potential applications for various grade levels.
Simple Machines
These (Simple Machines by Discovery Kids, and Simple Machines) are a couple of possibilities for granting students from elementary to middle school a new experience for added lessons in force and movement.

Build Your Reef
This is a SUPER cool app that allows students the chance to build and care for their own virtual ocean world. It is on all the JK iPads and is both simple to use for our early learners, as well as robust enough to allow our learners to grow with it to build even more!
Tinybop
Tinybop is another app that allows students of a variety of ages to construct a course filled with ramps, gears, and pulleys to traverse through a scene.

Teachers Try Science
A free subscription to this site gets you a nice collection of materials, particularly good if you looking for a collection of videos showing quick science experiments that support your lesson.
Wonderville
A free account in Wonderville still allows science teachers access to a large catalog of videos, interactive posters and more.
Nat Geo For Kids
Still a solid resource for science and social studies, National Geographic for Kids has an ever-updating site that contains interactive resources.
“Animal Cams” From Zoos Around The World
Here is a collection of live video from the zoo habitat for the following animals:

Virtual Smithsonian
The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History has compiled a huge collection of their exhibits into 360-degree tours.
Wonderopolis
Wonderopolis is a great site for students to explore independently, or as a class “warm-up” as it rotates a new thought-provoking question a day. There is a ton of information, videos, etc… on a huge range of topics.
Graphic Organizer Generator
This site, has templates at the ready for creating graphic organizers that could be a good fit for a particular assignment or help a particular student gather their thoughts before writing.
Biblionasium
Unlike Epic, Biblionasium does not have a catalog of the actual e-readers, however it is a fantastic digital bookshelf that manages student reading logs for you. The best part is, the students can recommend books to each other, you could recommend them to the whole class, or add titles to a specific student’s bookshelf.
Book Creator: iPad
Book Creator has been a familiar resource for a few years now, but constant updates to the program have now really begun to unleash possibilities. The online platform allows our students to really tap into the ease with which they can create e-books and organize them on a digital bookshelf. It could even be a viable alternative to websites for housing and publishing their research projects.
Book Creator has also added a major update this Fall; the ability to embed content from

other sites and applications!
Explore some samples of ways our students have used Book Creator below!
EPIC
This resource, Epic, is a digital library of over 30,000 books, free to educators where students can keep a bookshelf of fiction and nonfiction. Excellent extra option for research resources, as well as for igniting an interest in pleasure reading. I am happy to set this up for you and your class if you are interested in using it.
