App Review - Solve the Outbreak

The CDC came up with a great idea to engage students in how to protect themselves from a potential outbreak. This interactive app allows the user to be the detective to solve the outbreak of fun cases. Ask people questions, look at the scenario and determine the best idea. Do you quarantine, talk to the sick, get test results. Cases come out daily, so this app is always changing.

Your decisions determine how well you can evaluate the situation, which in return provides you with a badge and detective score worthy of how well you handled the situation.

Talking about germs? Diseases? Have a teachable moment? This app can help engage students and allow for some great discussions on the fields of science and health.

App Review - Essential Skeleton

Essential Skeleton is a free app that allows the user to really go into detail about the human body. This app is appropriate for both middle and high school.

In middle school, you can talk about how the bones work together to cause a function. The app provides an easy way to tap on bones after rotating to see all the angles of it and then learn the names for each bone. Students can have fun exploring the body and begin to ask those important questions such as how does the human body work?


In high school, if you offer a biology/anatomy and physiology app then this would be an amazing way to investigate the human body. Students can zoom in and out of what they are looking at, draw pictures and diagrams and fill out notes without the teacher giving the students a slide or having to explain a lot, students will be involved and active in their own learning.
