Science Terms App

Science Terms App combines digital flashcards with multiple-choice quizzes to deepen users’ understanding in a variety of scientific areas (Biology, Genetics, Earth / Space Science, etc.). The digital flashcards are arranged alphabetically. When using the flashcards, the Science Terms App first presents users with a term. Then, when users swipe the term, its definition appears. When engaging the quiz function of Science Terms App, users can select quiz questions, which are also organized alphabetically by potential answers. When answering quiz questions, users are given only one opportunity to answer correctly, and a final score is provided after answering all the questions in a specific quiz.

Instructional Ideas

1. Teachers can have students use this app’s glossary to look up and define key terms.
2. Teachers can create a review game by having students answer specific quiz questions as fast as possible and record their scores using a class website app such as Edmodo.
3. Research topics can be assigned using this app by having students take a quiz to identify a topic that they do not know. Next, the teacher can assign students a research project about the assignment to build their knowledge of the topic. For example, teachers can require students to use iMovie or Educreation to design a video about the topic identified using this app, and then post their video to the class website or play it for their classmates.
