 class apps for teachers,

teachers must use or create apps that connect with their students. Students can then use these apps on a variety of devices to interact with the teacher and others. I also believe that apps can be used to promote critical thinking in the classroom. For example, in our science class students are learning how to test, draw conclusions and present their findings. My students also learn how to draw conclusions based on new research and how to interpret data. In their Science Lab, students must apply what they learned in class to the new information they have gathered.A good science lab involves many critical thinking skills. Students must use these skills when they are preparing for a science lab. For instance, my students need to use their critical thinking skills to:Plan: My students need to plan the science lab as they did the science project. I provide students with a template that has a worksheet for them to complete. This template includes the project name, the instructions for completing the project, a list of supplies needed, and a time line for completing the project. I use the template as a checklist to make sure students follow instructions and do not forget any steps.Organize: Students must organize their lab materials in the correct order. I provide a lab worksheet and they must list the materials in order by category. The students must put all the science lab materials in the appropriate order.Prioritize: Students need to prioritize the lab materials to keep their work organized. I use a lab worksheet as a timeline for them to complete the science project. I label this as the timeline. They then must use the timeline to prioritize the materials and list them in order on their lab worksheet.Make sure to make notes in the science lab!Understand: Students must understand how to use the science lab. I give a small demo on how to use the science lab. Then I ask the students to practice. I ask the students to come to the lab. I allow them to do the whole lab using the steps in the template. I ask them if they can complete it using only their first five senses. Once they are successful they have to demonstrate how they would complete it if they had to use the laboratory tools. This helps them understand how to use the equipment.Analyze: Students must analyze the materials they are using and how to use them. Students need to analyze their science materials. This means that they must understand how to use the science lab and how to complete a science project. I usually give students several sheets of a lab worksheet to analyze each item they will use. I allow them to use all five of their senses to describe their work and how it will be used in the future. Once they have learned the details, I ask them to demonstrate to show they have learned it. This helps them to remember all the steps and processes of a lab.Analyze: Students need to analyze the science they learned in class. Once they learned the science, I allow them to do the labs. They need to analyze and decide how the process works. This helps them understand the content better.Integrate: Students must integrate the materials they learned in science. In my science labs, I allow them to use a variety of materials. This allows them to integrate what they learned.Create: Students need to create the science project they will complete. They need to create a science project that will test the things they learned in class. I make sure my students understand how to design and plan a science project before they begin.Create: Students must create a science project that shows how they learned in class. Once they have learned the content, they need to design a project and plan it before they start to create it.Interpret: Students need to interpret the data they collected from their science project. They must interpret the data and determine if it shows what they were learning in class
