PreK-12 Science Apps
Man in Space-$5.99 (iPad)
The term "electronic book" does not do this app any justice! Users can visit the moon (360 degree views), 3D angels of spacecrafts, countless photo galleries, historic video footage, interactive diagrams, and even a forward by Sir Patrick Moore.
Orbits HD-FREE!
This free app is full of innovative ways for students to understand our solar system and the behaviors of our planets. Users can create their own solar systems and introduce their own variables to deepen their comprehension of forces such as mass, radius, or speed of orbits may have on individual planets.
Orbits SIM HD-$3.99 (iPad)
OrbitSim is an orbital mechanics simulator designed to deliver a hands-on learning experience. The app harnesses the advanced touch gesture interface of the iPad, and allows users to effortlessly define and create elliptical orbits around any planet in our solar system, plot orbit transfers, play animations, and study detailed output data. OrbitSim users have the opportunity to experiment with three modes of operation: the basic two-body orbit, orbit circularization, and Hohmann transfer. Each of these modes presents a sleek and intuitive interface highlighted by striking artwork. (SpaceWorks)
