I searched iTunes store for apps related to Biology. There were several I felt I could apply to my curriculum.
- Mitosis: The student follows cells as they move through the process of mitosis. They can read about it, experience it through pictures and interactive content as well as quiz themselves on the process.

- Build a Bird: Students explore different birds and the adaptations they use to survive in their environment. After researching beaks, wings, etc. of specific birds, the student can then build a bird adapted to a specific environment they are given.

- Leafsnap: This game is uses visual recognition to identify snapshots of leaves. It is produced by Columbia University and is still in the process of adding additional field guides for more areas of the United States. This would be a great tool to use when studying plants and applying the knowledge to classification.
