GPS lite Motion X 2.99 [|Review]

Wooo Hooo! A compass and GPS for everyone! Orienteering is concept we used to teach in 7th grade, however, we don't have compasses all the time and we don't have GPS devices as they are really too expensive to buy a classroom set. So, here we go!

GPS lite works the just fine, but I did upgrade to the 2.99 version. So, know we can teach how to use a compass and how to geocache. 1. select GPS lite icon 2. select Menu 3. Compass skills 4. find cache
 * waypoint
 * set waypoint 1 and 2
 * compass
 * plug in
 * turn to direction arrow
 * start walking
 * open
 * replace
 * don't ruin your game or the game for others.

Virtual Micrscope

Virtual Microscope is a free app that allows students to view the internal structure of a rock or mineral.

The 7th graders study minerals before rocks. Knowing that minerals are a composed of 1 or more elements from the periodic table. Sulfur (S), a mineral that is only composed on 1 mineral, where halite (NaCl) is comprised of 2 elements Sodium (Na) and Chlorine(Cl). When we are studying rocks, the composition is a combination of minerals. Sedimentary Rock is composed of shells (//Coquina// a poorly consolidated //limestone)// sand (sandstone), mixed sized particles (conglomerate). Igneous, which have crystals that form differently, the larger crystals form intrusively, inside the earth, and smaller crystals form extrusive lava, outside the earth. Metamorphic rocks are modified through heat and pressure over time.

1. quartz and quartite 2. shale and slate 3. limestone and marble
 * Compare the following rocks in a Venn diagrams. (** Students should "SEE" the difference between a sedimentary rock and a metamorphic rock)

andesite, diorite, gabbro, basalt, pegmatite granite obsidian pumice rhyolite scoria
 * Search for these igneous and label them as (E) extrusive or (I) intrusive by their crystal size.**
