Time lapse photography

Imotion hd is an app that would be nice to use in science. Potentially I can see using this to document experimental procedures and results as well as things like plants growing or butterflies life cycles (time lapse photography).

You have a couple different ways to do this. For long term projects you will use a timer to take pictures every fraction of a second up to daily intervals. Downfall...you wouldn't be able to use the device for something else while recording. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can add frames once you stop recording. Meaning once you take your last frame and exit the program you can't come back and add frames.  However, when editing you can take out frames.

If you do manual shots you can take frames when ever you want. Interesting idea...you could do clay animation here....  I could see students recreate scenes from a story using dolls and props/backgrounds, heck they could reenact the whole story while a student clicks key scenes. What if a movie of a whole story were created and students asked to eliminate all frames not key to a plot, main character? or students could cut out everything but foreshadowing and actual event that was foreshadowed. I wonder if students could this feature to focus in on parts of stories in order to understand them better? This isn't the best tool...but it fosters some ideas. 

For science I think you could capture key steps in a procedure or results as perform experiment. Manually this seems easier...wish could add narration here...curious could you put this in iMovie and add narration? Other ideas for science. If a teacher wanted to show kids how a flower follows the sun throughout the day they could put flower in the window and set timer for hourly or 30 minutes. Each time it would take a shot and the next day you could play it back. Heck you could show how flowers respond to light to since it will close up at dark and reopen in morning. One problem...you have to pay extra to export. Not sure how much.  I suppose we could individually save and project from our own device...just not email it or send it out.
