Define:
Experimenting with chemical elements and mixing them together by yourself to see their reaction without actually physically using them.
Dream:
Some possible solutions to this problem are searching up some videos to watch the reaction. Or maybe find an app that allows you to do that. Or find a website that allows you to do that.
Deliver:
My solution to this problem is the app called BEAKER which is found in the app store. This app allows you to mix any amount of elements together to form a substance and see it’s reaction. You are also able to heat or light the chemical elements. You are able to mix the chemical elements together by shaking your device. It also tells you the weight of the element that there in grams and the temperature in celsius. Another cool feature is that you can air mix your solutions. That means if you have another device with a mixture or your friend does you can simply ‘air’ pour your solution out of your beaker into theirs creating a new one.

Debreif:
Some down sides about this app is that some features cost money and at first it’s a little hard to understand. But good news is that the main idea of this app is free, that idea is to see it’s chemical reaction. Also after using it for a bit you know how to use it and understand it.
App review:
An overview of this app is that it’s innovative because you can use this app to see reactions between chemical elements without actually using those chemical elements in real life. This is a good idea because if you have to write about a reaction you can simply do it at home. I also feel like this app would be really good app to use for completing labs at home.
Here is a link to download the app just in case:

Hi Paige! Great app, I like how it was very well explained and it includes pictures of the actual app. I like the format you set up for your project. It would be nice if there could be more labelling so we know exactly what your talking about. If you were to need those added paid products, did you notice any over apps that might be similar to this one without the paid added part? Is it expensive for those added paid products? Overall great post with details and pictures!
Hello Jane! 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to review my work and for telling me where I can improve! Yes, I realize there is some inconvenience where you have to pay for some features. But the app is free. I used what came with the app and it got the job done. If you do run into a problem where you do need those features they cost about a dollar. I did not notice any other app that does the same thing but if you took the time to research one you might be able to find one.
Good job, I can see you put a lot of thought into your app review. After reading your thoughts, I tried the app myself, and I quite enjoyed it. I see that it would help with chemistry, but I also feel like I didn’t learn as much as I should have that would help me during class. Did you have this same experience? If not, how did you feel it helped?
Hello Ava 🙂 glad to see that you have tried the app once before! The reason why I feel this app works well and helps is because you can see reactions at home when you need to finish a lab or write what you observe from that reaction. I can kind of see why you might have a difficult time learning from it. But personally I just think you need to get used to the app and learn more of how to use it, and everything will be okay.
Thanks for your App Review. You have outlined the Solution Fluency while sharing many details about your app. Don’t forget to not only debrief the app but the Solution Fluency process you carried out. Great to see you answer back your comments! Great work!
