This app shows a graphic that is constantly changing according to the noise level of the room. You can also change the settings to allow for more noise or less noise.
Civil War Battle Apps
I originally found the app for the Gettysburg Battle but soon realized that there were 10 different apps available. They cover some of the major battles of the civil war. They include orders of battle, battle facts, historical photos, troop positions, chronologies, and more. They have short videos of historical experts standing in the places where the battles occurred. A fun project would be to divide the class into small groups and have each of them learn about a battle. Then have them present what they have learned in some way. They could do a radio report as if they were at the battle or pretend to be the leaders and reenact the important parts of the battle. The links to each of these apps are below. All of these apps are free.
