Use AI tools such as MagicSchool, reviewed here to enhance learning. For example, use MagicSchool's conceptual understanding tool to generate ideas with classroom activities that help students understand this observance and how it ties to their current knowledge base or use the tool that shares common misconceptions about a topic and how to address them.
