Science app review

The app i have chosen is the Khan Academy App.

This is a very helpful and educational app, it provides both written and video descriptions for different topics of science.These can help you in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Cosmology and not only can it help you with science but it can help you with math as well. With this app you can choose what area of science you want to learn about and then once you have chosen it will branch off to the different areas of that topic. Such as with physics you can learn about Newton’s laws of force and motion, gravitation, energy, and quantum physics. I have found this to be a very useful and educational app as i can learn the basics of the topic from the written portion and then watch the video to learn more about that subject.

As this picture shows if i wanted to learn about physics and its many different topics that branch off of it i could click on physics and this page would show up and then i could learn about Newton’s laws of physics. This will help me as we are learning about electricity in physics and there are videos and written parts about electricity. I can also use this app to study for tests as i can watch a video on a certain subject to help me remember what ever it is that i need to know and in there videos they show you how to do what they are showing you. I will most certainly be using this app whether its to help study or to get help on a certain subject that i need help understanding.

Define, The problem i encounter the most is that when i am studying for a test I will forget how to draw a Bohr model or Lewis diagram or something. I know that this will be on the test but i cant seem to remember how to do it. So i wanted an app that could show me how to correctly do these things so that i will be ready for the test.

Dream, I wanted an app that has videos to show me how to do things , I wanted these videos to go step by step so that i can easily follow along and do it with the video. I wanted this app to be able to get me to understand the different concepts of Physics. Lastly i wanted this app to have pictures and diagrams to show me visually what i needed to learn.

Deliver, I have decided to show these pictures of the site to show how it works and why it is such a great app. I have gone through the different steps that the sheet has shown me and i have added pictures of the app to show this. I have also added the different D words that i was asked to add to this blog post.

Debrief, I believe i did a good job on this project as I went through the app learning about it and thinking about how i could use this in a real situation whether it’s studying for a test or doing homework. I also believe i did a good and accurate description of the app and its many features. While i believe i did good i think i could have spent more time looking through the app and finding out its true potential. I will think about this next time so that i can learn from my mistakes while still working hard to improve on what i think i did well.

    Great App Review. You have outlined the Solution Fluency while sharing many details about your app. Glad to see you not only debrief the app but the Solution Fluency process you carried out as well. Great work!
