Define:
-Problem- Writing chemistry formulas
-How can I practice writing formulas?
-Will the app help with my learning?
-Is it a useful app when studying?
Dream: An idea to help solve this problem is to search for websites of apps to help with practicing and writing chemistry formulas. It would be helpful if the app could allow me to practice and study for tests. Another thing that would
be helpful is if I could practice writing the formula and also writing the name of the formula.
Design: To find an app, I searched chemistry formula writing apps on the Internet and the app store. I made sure to read about the app and the reviews of other people’s experiences with the app. I then chose the best app that I thought would help me learn the best.
Deliver: The app I have chosen is called Chemistry Formula Practice. This app allows me to practice naming formulas and vice versa. I can set how much time I want to practice, or how many questions I want to practice. There are about 6 different categories to choose from such as ionic compounds, polyatomic ions, etc. The only downside is that you have to pay to get the full version. It is great for studying and practicing. One thing that is helpful if you are new to the app is that there is a tutorial to show you how to use it. There is also a leaderboard to see your scores after practicing and to see what you have to work on.
Debrief: The app Chemistry Formula Practice is a very beneficial app and helpful when learning about writing formulas. It was definitely worth the money because you have more options of practicing. One thing I like about the app is that you can practice formula to name or name to formula. I would highly recommend this app for people learning about chemistry formulas.
The app helps learn about formulas by giving the formula and options of names to choose from that match the formula. I don’tthink the app is very creative but it is a smart way to learn. The app is very easy to use but if you have difficulties, there is a tutorial to show you how to use it.
This sounds like a very helpful app. What platforms is this available in? (ios, google play etc.)
Hey Krista, Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, this app is only available on ios.
Hey Katie, I liked how you used the solution frequencies to organize the problem and the information about the app. The reviews about the app can help me know what difficulties I have to look out for. A question I have is: What information is different from the full version and the free version so I can decide whether if I should buy it or not.
It was also hard for me to decide if I should buy the full version. The free version is very limited. There are only 3 out of the 7 categories to practice. The full version is very useful and more ways to practice. I would definitely recommend the full version:)
Hello Katie, you mentioned that the full version of this app had to be paid for. How much money will I need to spent to get the full version?
Hey Herny, the full version was about $2.00. It is definitely worth it!
