Bongo’s Science & Math Words vs Science 8

Ever wondered how to spell Trigonometry? meteoroid? Or asthenosphere? Well let Bongo help you through that process. The app contains spelling lists covering indepth science and math subjects such as Earth and Life Sciences, Motion, Space, Scientific Inquiry, Matter and Energy. Bongo helps children develop their reading, writing and spelling skills by building words from grouped lists of over 4800. Bongo's Science and Math Words is the next installment in the popular BrightStart series of educational apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Our multi-user application brings together experiences in the classroom to your children's hands with the bonus of allowing parents and teachers to review and monitor their progress and lesson plan. Bongo's Science and Math Words is aimed at children between Kindergarten through to Grade 9. We support up to 50 simultaneous user accounts with individual lesson plans allowing careful tailoring for each learner. Further to this progress can be tracked, reviewed and easily emailed simply from the app! Key concepts: * Help children develop and understand letter recognition through sounds and phonics * Children can then build on the phonemes to create, recognize and improve word structure for spelling * Further develop reading and literacy App features include: * Over 4800 words and sounds * Easy to complex word categories aligned with the Montessori learning method * Word lists included are subjects in or around: 1) Food – Chain, Plants 2) Space – Earth, Moon, Sun, Structure 3) Human Anatomy – Cells, Body 4) Animals – Parts, Types 5) Energy – Type, Flows, Processes * Multi user capability - ideal for classroom environment * Each user can have their own lesson plan based on the level and ability * Two fun games are included with lots of hidden interactive features to encourage autonomy, self-confidence and engagement * User reviews and progress reports can be triggered via email easily through the application * Choose between capital, lower-case or cursive letter trays Email us at info@brightstartapps.com for help & suggestions as we cannot respond to reviews.

These are a few tools for helping visualize middle school science. I spent a year volunteer tutoring middle school (grade 8) science students. While doing that, I created an app with a few simple demonstrations and practice tests to help them. The modules included were those that illustrated or helped practice the concepts my students had trouble either understanding or remembering. The test module contains every test the students took. Hot Molecules is an interactive demonstration of the effects of heating and cooling on molecular activity. Will it float? is an interactive lab simulation for determining density. Questions is a test-practice module for all subjects thus far covered (phase changes, heat transfer, density, atoms, molecules, reactions, atmosphere). Buckets is a category builder to help understand grouping of like things on arbitrary traits Which is Bigger? is an interactive statistics exploration, showing how much overlap there is between categories and how important sample size is. How do population dynamics of the species populations in a food web interact? Play with the simulation and ecological and human-introduced factors. Watch out for natural disasters! Other demonstrations and test topics are added periodically.
