Nowadays we can see the evolution of science and technology worldwide. But teachers and students in many developing countries are not aware of it that much. Also, they should know how we can use this technology in the learning and teaching process.
So here I want to share my practices with all of them. I have done some low-cost experiments with some mobile applications and used them in teaching and learning astronomy. It's proven that they were so effective during the pandemic era. As students during pandemics are away from their school laboratories, they are missing their regular experimentation. Here students can easily make some low-cost experiments using some mobile applications.
This also can be used as the best teaching aids.
We basically call it AppStronomy
