DEVELOPMENT OF A MOBILE APPLICATION FOR PHYSICS SUBJECT OF GRADE 9 STUDENTS

The proposed project is for the new Philippine educational system, the “K-12 program”. The application aimed to stimulate and develop the thinking skills of Grade 9 students for their studies in Physics. By developing this application, teachinglearning can be more interactive, interesting, and goal oriented. In this proposed project, the game simulation contained four topics namely “Motion in Two Dimensions/Projectile Motion,” “Work, Power, and Energy,” “Heat, Work, and Efficiency”, and “Electricity and Magnetism”. Thus, the researchers came up to develop an interactive game that can benefit the Grade 9 students to this branch of science. In developing this mobile application, the researchers identified the required functionalities of the proposed system to design the system based on identified feature using UML and Unity for Animation and Adobe Photoshop CS6 as a program for designing. The agile methodology is the most suitable for the game development of its interactive procedure of planning and analysis, design, development and testing, and evaluation. With the project’s results, it was concluded that the game objectives were conceptualized using different methods and the functionalities were designed using the UML like using case diagram and conceptual framework. The evaluation made by the Grade 9 students from CEFI using the criteria determined the reliability, appearance, and usability of the game.
