Whatchamacology App

This app will help science students with their science specific vocabulary.  It is a free app for the Iphone.  I am not sure about other phones, as I have an Iphone.  The terminology for this app  is selected from the grade 9 through 12 Ontario Science Curriculum.  Yes, I said ONTARIO.  The following is from Brendan Polley,

"Students often find themselves overwhelmed with the amount of new words they have to learn when studying science.  Why cant' we learn about dinosaurs and robots without having to memorize a bunch of definitions? Whatchamacology turns studying scientific terms into a fun, interactive game.

If you enjoy games like Password, Taboo or Catch Phrase, you'll love Whatchamacology.  Get your team to guess scientific terms without using words from their typical definitions.  Act out a scene; draw pictures; tell stories; use analogies.  Earn points for each correct guess.  The team with the most points before the timer runs out wins!  You'll find that when you start thinking creatively about scientific terms, they become much easier to remember.  Great for study groups or classroom review sessions.

Hundreds of clues related to:
-Biology
-Chemistry
-Physics
-Earth and Space Science
-Environmental Science

Whatchamacology includes relevant terminology from the 9-12 Ontario Science Curriculum.  Play a game of random terms or select a set of clues based on subject, grade, and pathway.  You can even submit your own terms and clues to share with your classes and the Whatchamacology community."
