Some comments about applications

I would like to comment my favourite apps and lesson plans I have shared with you:
App for tablet: Macrocosm 3D: This is an app teachers can use when they are teaching contents related to the Universe and the Solar System.With this app students can see amazing cosmos views, 3D models of galaxies, planets and stars, and they can learn more about the size of some celestial bodies such as the hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris, or the huge distances among some different parts of the Milky Way.
Tool for computers: Robolab: This is an interesting program teachers can use when explaining some robotic components and what they are used for. Pipils can build a vehicle with LEGO and they can control and program the movements of this vehicle.
Lesson plan for printing: The Earth in the Universe: This is a lesson plan I have found in the Junta de AndalucĂ­a website. It is already prepared to Spaniards who are learning Sciences in English with CLIL methodololgy. Pupil can find several activities, and in the spoken activities it is also provided  some useful language that pupils can use in order to ask for clarification or for expressing one's opinion.
Lesson plan for whiteboard: Severe weather lesson, Hurricane,tornado:This lesson includes information about Hurricanes,Tornados, etc. Teacher can use this tool while teaching the Earth's atmosphere and what factors affect climate. You can find there video links that bring the severe weather right into your classsroom, so I think pupils will find it quite interresting.
On-line publications: National Geographic kids: Here kids have an amusing website where students can learn through videos, photos and news some more things when studying living things, vertebrates and invertebrates.
