10 great back-to-school apps

2. Frog Dissection App

iTunes
The Frog Dissection App for iPad lets users try their hand at dissection without the messiness.

Warning: This is not a good app for the squeamish. But it might be a good way for the dissection-shy teenager to gear up for the real frog dissection – or for conscientious objectors to get an interesting alternative. The animated frog body is more ... palatable than the actual formaldehyde-drenched frog flesh and gives a good amount of information about each of the different frog organs and parts.

Recommended ages: Middle school and older

Compatibility: iPad only

Cost: $3.99
