My Science App Review

For my Science App Review, I reviewed Periodic Table (by Socratica).

The main menu

The questions I asked were:

Is it easy to use, does it relate to what we’re learning, does it teach you a lot, does it teach you well, is it good quality, and is it reliable and a good source of information?

Their periodic table

It teaches you about the periodic table and atomic theory. You can learn randomly about elements, look at a periodic table, search up elements, quiz yourself on elements, and even get some chemistry video lessons.

I found it pretty straightforward and easy to use. It could really help a lot to anyone learning or studying elements and the periodic table. It teaches you a crazy amount of stuff about each element, like down to really specific things your teacher would probably not even ask you for. It’s pretty good quality, although there are 5-second ads you have to sit through occasionally. The information is pretty accurate and detailed. The app is pretty good, and I would give it a solid 9/10.

What I learned:

Just a small part of what you can learn about any element.

I learned the names of elements I barely knew existed, and learned a lot more defining properties of atoms, things like a CAS number, Vickers hardness, and Van der waals radius. Crazy stuff, but pretty cool.
