Apps and websites to help with your homework and project

Today we talked about ensuring you have learnt the maths facts, the current sheet plus the new one I gave you today.
 There is a good flash card app called: Flashcards++
 The version I tested was free.
My tip is that when you make a set of card put all the words on the front and the definitions/answers on the back otherwise you will be in a muddle when you use them to quiz yourself.

 I have found a suitable one for Android called: Study Cards, which is also free.
 I would welcome any other suggestions.

 Apps for your project:
 Star walk
 Solar system
NASA
 Exoplanet - focusing on alien life forms
 Here is a good review of several apps
