Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the

sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

• There must be one app per step.

• Android apps can be used as long as all included apps are from the same platform.

• Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
• Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
• Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
• The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: Method Mania

Relevant SC Standards:

3.S.1A.4: Analyze and interpret data from observations, measurements, or

investigations to understand patterns and meanings.
3.S.1A.3: Plan and conduct scientific investigations to answer questions, test
predictions and develop explanations: (1) formulate scientific questions and predict
possible outcomes, (2) identify materials, procedures, and variables, (3) select and use
appropriate tools or instruments to collect qualitative and quantitative data, and (4)
record and represent data in an appropriate form. Use appropriate safety procedures.
3.S.1A.2: Develop, use, and refine models to (1) understand or represent phenomena,
processes, and relationships, (2) test devices or solutions, or (3) communicate ideas to
others.

Description: This app lesson will develop elementary school students’ knowledge of
the scientific method and how to utilize it.
Instructional Objective: Students will be introduced to the scientific method and
practice using it towards experiments. They will be able to identify steps in the method
within other experiements, and research experiements that include all of the steps.

Step 1: Students will use the Elevate Science app to read and take note of the new
vocabulary terms associated with the scientific method.

Step 2: Students will use the Brain Pop app to watch the video about conducting an
experiment using the scientific method. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/brainpop-
featured-movie/id364894352

Step 3: Students will use the Science Journal app to research an experiment that they
can produce themselves at home. They will create a slideshow that includes a
hypothesis, materials, observtions, conclusions, and pictures of them conducting their
experiment.
