Problem :
With so many elements on the periodic table, how am I going to remember them all ? From all the metals to non metals and much more my brain can’t handle all of the information. During science class we have been using the periodic table quite a bit, that being difficult for me will be a problem I need to solve. Learning their names, atomic mass and symbol accurately will be hard so I need to find an app that will be easy and helpful for me with my periodic table struggles.
Dream :
What if there was an app for a periodic table and not just any periodic table, a periodic table that will actually help me. What if there were options to learn the table, look at the table, doing quizzes and much more. If I could find a periodic table app that will help me in a fun and informative way, it would truly be a dream.
Deliver :
I want to get a good mark in science, since I am on my phone all the time why not get an app for school? I found an app while scrolling through the app store called ” Periodic Table of Chemical Elements Quiz”. This app has so many options such as playing games (quiz), settings for your preferences, learning every specific thing about the periodic table and your personal high scores. In the games there are many levels that varies from easy to hard, which helped me improve a lot in a very fun way. With each level the elements got more and more familiar to me. You can set your language preferences and much more in the settings. You can learn the name, symbol, atomic numbers, groups, periods and blocks. Lastly you can see your high scores and other people who have the app scores too, a fun challenge to see if you can get the highest score in the app. While using this for a couple weeks I’ve not only learned so much more about the periodic table, I’ve grown to love the game and all of the elements (which I did not enjoy before).
Debrief : In conclusion ” Periodic Table of Chemical Elements quiz ” is a great app I would suggest to anyone looking for something useful and fun. The whole point of finding this science app was to find something that worked for me, and it did. While being fun like I wanted, it was also helpful. Anyone who is struggling with the periodic table specifically would definitely love this app, I am so glad I found it and will be using it much more.

Thanks for your review of the Elements app. I like how you included all the parts of the Solution Fluency to do this review. I see that you included some screenshots but these are not showing up. Could you check on them to make sure they are working? Also, one thought might be to reflect on the process you went through and the quality of post you made in your Debrief section. I like the positive tone of your review!
