Define: I wanted to find a way to learn the periodic table. I wanted to find a way to have the periodic table within in easy access, that tells me everything I need to know about the periodic table, but in a fun way.
Dream: if I was able to remember the periodic table with this app it would really help me. It would save a lot of time if I ever needed to write down any formulas. If I was able to have a periodic table in easy access without having to search one up on the internet it would save a lot of time. Finding an app that would help teach me the periodic table in a visual way would really help. An app that tells me everything I need to know about each element.
Deliver: the app I have chosen is called Elements. This app allowed me to name each elements symbol and show me a symbol thatI would have to name by multiple choice. I also had a list of all the elements in alphabetic order with each group it belongs to, its state, the atomic weight, when it was discovered and wether it belongs to rows or column. I can also choose between easy or hard, easy would give a multiple choice you start with 20 seconds and with every correct answer you get an additional 3 seconds and with every wrong answer you loose 3 seconds. The game stops when you run out of time. Points are kept track of, when you get an answer wrong it does not skip to the next element, it stays on that element until you get the answer right. Like every other app there are pros and there are cons. Some pros being. That you can learn the symbols of the elements in a fun way, you also have some form of periodic table with lots of information in easy access. Some cons are it isn’t easy to go through all the elements because it would take a lot of time.
Debrief: the app Elements would be beneficial for some peoples. For me this app did not help me improve. When I didn’t know the answer I found that I wouldn’t stop and think, I would just click random symbols until I got it right. And having the periodic table alphabetized ended up confusing me more then helping me. I do not think this app is worth keeping.
