5.+Biology+Integration

The National Research Council has constructed a set of National Science Content Standards:
 * Unifying concepts and processes in science
 * Science as inquiry
 * Life science.
 * the cell
 * molecular basis of heredity
 * biological evolution
 * interdependance of organisms
 * matter, energy, and organization in living systems
 * behavior of organisms
 * Science and technology
 * Science in personal and social perspectives
 * History and nature of science

In order for students to successfully grasp and apply these scientific goals in the 21st century, technology is essential. iPads to use in the classroom would fulfill this need. In the table below are just a few iPad applications and how they can be used in the Biology classroom.
