The Why Files................News

I was searching for articles and resources when I came across this site by complete accident.  The Why Files is the science behind the news. This site posts current event stories and each story will have a connection to Science concepts. There is a classroom activities section that teachers can use as lessons and quizzes for students.

Teachers can access some articles, lesson plans, videos and more, for free. A good place to find news from around the world and content specific information and bring into the classroom.

Using apps and iPad in the classroom.  This site has a page that gives 14 ways to use Garageband in class.  One example is using voice over for movie trailers. There are also fun educational tidbits such as creating book trailers.  Another tidbit is 13 ways to use imovie in the classroom.  A lot to explore on this site.
