Signing Science Pictionary

Designed for younger users than the Signing Science Dictionary, the Signing Science Pictionary is an illustrative, interactive 3D sign language pictionary containing 730 science terms defined in both ASL and Signed English.  It is targeted to students in grades K-3.   This is a product that was developed through collaboration between TERC and Vcom3D.  Like the other apps in this series, the user has control over the avatar who forms the sign you select, with the ability to change the avatar’s position and signing speed.   A Users Guide  for this app is available for download.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 3.0 or later

Gravitarium

Gravitarium is a low-cost app that “combines music, art and science in one relaxing experience.”    There is a version for the iPad, and another version (Gravitarium SD) that works on iPhones, iPods, and iPads.  One review of this app point out its similarities to another app called Gravilux.  You might want to check them both out!   Click here for a video review of Gravilux.  The video  below demonstrates Gravitarium.  Turn up your volume so you don’t miss the music.
