EDUCATION MOBILE APPLICATION CHEMISTRY FORM 4

Abstract

Nowadays, people around the world are learning chemistry through various means and every student has a mobile phone to help them to connect to the Internet which is a treasure trove of educational material. An app available for mobile phones known as Chemistry Form 4 focuses on developing a student’s knowledge of chemistry using smartphones as a platform has been developed for students in Malaysia. This mobile app was developed using Android Studio and Unity 2019.1 programs. The agile method was used to develop this project because of its flexibility with regards to its working process. Starting from planning of the problem statement, to the provision of solutions and objectives of this project, and the analysis of the requirements from client phase. To analyze this project, a few diagrams such as use case diagram, use-case description, activity diagram, sequence diagram, and class diagram were used. Thereafter, the designing phase kicked in that included the normalization of data, the development of entity relationship diagram, data dictionary and CRUD statement for the project. This project also focused on the students’ needs from a chemistry app, which included preparation, presentation, practice and performance. Those functions include preparing and reading notes that can be updated by teachers. Students can also answer questions provided by teachers and view their results at the end of the sessions. Last but not least the students can view the atomic structures and chemical nature using an augmented reality (AR) model after the scanning cards provided by developers. Students can use the app to enhance their creativeness in getting to know atomic structures in this manner. Providing updated notes and questions with the aid of instructors will allow the students to benefit from the advanced know-how and chemistry expertise of the instructors. The mobile apps help students to improve their basic understanding of chemical processes and recognise the value of learning chemistry.
