1. Name: Cristina Camacho 2. District: Long Beach Public School  3. Grade: 7th 4. Subject: Life Science 5. CCLS Standard Addressed:  CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.3 Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.  CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.4 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6-8 texts and topics.  CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.9 Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.   Website: itunes.apple.com/us/app/3d-brain/id331399332  Description of the application: 3D Brain is a free app that gives an overview of the brain and its stuctures. It allows you to interact with the brain by rotation it 360 degrees. There are 29 different views of specific structures of the brain. One side of the brain is shown translucent to allow you to see the interior view. For each view of a particular structure, If you click on the info button, it fills up your screen with specific information on that part of the brain, associated functions, disorders, damage as well as links to other medical databases and related articles. There are also case studies provided for each structure. Also on the top next to info is a button that says "labels" which will label the section of the brain that you are viewing.   Incorporation: I would start by introducing the app in class after completing the Brain and the Nervous System. I would show them the features and the information provided. I would then explain their project. The project entails choosing one part of the brain highlighted by the app; each student in each class will be assigned a different structure. They will be responsible for gathering the following information: * Create a 3-D model of the brain highlighting the specific part you chose * Label main parts of the brain * Location - which lobe is it near? Section of the Brain? * Disorders associated with the part of the brain * Symptoms of the disorder * Treatments / Preventions   Students will need to use the app as one of the 3 required resources for the project.
