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.

  1. Very descriptive questions, I like how useful the app is and how it relates to what we’re learning. Can it be used and downloaded and both apple and Microsoft products?

  2. This app seems really helpful for school because I’m using the periodic table in Science class, and it bothers me that I have to try to find the one I’m looking for because there’s so many. So I will definitely try this app and hopefully learn the different types of elements so I’ll have most of them memorized. Thanks
