Science App Review
App: Touch Surgery
Questions and Answers
1. How does this app help people learn?
This app helps students learn in human anatomy/biology. It will be more helpful towards students who improve more when the object is in front of them. For example, if a teacher was explaining the layers of skin, or talking about your heart a student could look at this for a physical image, not even doing the surgery just look at the graphics. Another way they another way this can help a student learn, is if they want to see the procedures that doctors do, they can learn about it/learn how to do it and be tested on it

Wow Sama you really answered your questions very descriptive! I love how you related to the questions to different tasks you do in the game. I have also tried this game and i think it would be very helpful as it explains and tests you on different surgerys. The only thing is that it was pretty difficult to manuver around.
This is a great science app which you have put a lot of effort into documenting!
