Summary

Students in Chemistry lecture or laboratories in person (or asynchronous) in both lower and upper classes without knowing how the fundamental concepts, including hands-on activity correlate with theory, which puts students behind and struggling for the class and/or not preparing for the class. In this instance, I intend to code an application to supplement student learning, not just by doing hands-on-activity but by understanding what is done by translating to logic.

Learning Goals

1.To identify the fundamental concept students struggling with math and chemistry concepts .
2. To outline the program/coding to analyze and/or translate the logical reason to supplement students' learning.
3. To quantify and calculate data as an interactive application in a table or graph and process photos or images.
