Our middle school science class is learning about the chemical elements. In one of the introduction lessons, we used the free app Elements 4D by DAQRI. Students created six element boxes and then scanned them through an iPad. The app allowed students to see the colors and the element's state of matter--increasing their ability to link the element to memory. Instead of just a symbol and some numbers on the table, they were able to make a visual connection to the element.
Our next lesson with the app will be for chemical bonds. The app also allows users to combine their element boxes to form a new substance with new chemical properties.
