I can’t wait to show my students the interactive database and the videos. The dichotomous key will be great for kids. However my big complaint is that the bone identification section gives the exact same images and animal choices that you get on the paper bone identification sheets that Carolina Biological sells in their catalog/website. It really frustrates me that they group the category of “rodents” all together. It’s fine for the 90% of my students that get vole skeletons in their owl pellet, but there are some key differences between vole skeletons, rat skeletons, pocket gopher, (not to mention my one student who apparently had a kangaroo rat). Also, the bone identification drawings are severely lacking in detail. It could be much improved if it had the drawing plus a couple of photos of each kind of bone (preferably next to a ruler). Also, their complete skeleton diagrams are beautiful, but why only rat, mole, and bird? Where are vole, shrew, and others? This app should offer SO much more to help the kids identify the bones they are finding.
