Science App Review

This project’s purpose was to find helpful, useful apps on the app store. With millions of games and tools which one’s could actually help you learn something? Well were going to find out.

App name: Little Alchemy

Purpose: To let students to experience and learn about element combining.

Use: To use this app, you open it and a menu of simple elements such as water, air, fire etc shows up on the left side. You drag element mixtures onto the grid to see if they react or turn into something.

Questions:

  1. How does this app help users build skills or learn content?

This app allows you to visually see elements and the other options. This app could help me study my elements and mixtures and also refresh my brain on what elements react well together and which ones don’t react at all. This app would help you build up your memory on elements and they’re mixtures.

2. How intuitive is this app? Is it self explanatory or does it require much thought.

This app is very self explanatory. It may take a couple minutes to find the right chemical mixtures and all but this app is very straight forward to learn and is easy to get used too. A 5 year old could probably figure it out.

3. What innovative elements does this app use?

Periotic table, Chemical elements, Earth elements, Gas elements and the power to fuse and create ne substances. Easy to read numbers and letters and it’s not easy o get thrown off the train off this app.

Overall I think this app is a very helpful asset to review basics for science. I can see it being a really big help to people.

 

 

The Sea Devil Questions

 

The Sea Devil

 

1- The man prefers to fish at night. He likes to be alone with the smell of the saltyness and the sound of the water. What is significant is that the man doesn’t fish often, he seems to have not a lot of experience at all. Especially fishing at night, alone, in the pitch dark with only your ears and a small flash light can be guiding. So many things could go completely wrong in his situation.

2-When the man saw the school of sardines swim under his boat. When he notices he catches a sting ray and not a mullet. When he kept his eye out for the oily swirls.

3- The complicating incident was when the man decided he wouldn’t cast his net until he sees two swirls. This choice affects him in the future. A crises that happened was when the man was holding onto his rope to hard and got yanked into the water by the sea devil. The climax was when the mans rope tat was tangling him underwater finally broke because some barnacles were sawing the rope. He got free and out of the water away from the sea devil safe and sound.

5-The man releases the mullet he previously caught because he knows how it feels to be hateopeless. He doesn’t want a creature in his position.

6- “the night was breathless” A metaphor and personification

“Looking into the blank eyes of death” Personifacation

“He felt the razor sharp barnacles bite into his hand” Simile
