Free App Friday: NOVA Elements

Okay, what are you doing this weekend? You're probably going to try and catch up on your favorite television shows, right? You should consider forfeiting that time to learn about the periodic table instead. No, I'm serious. And if you can do it for free and with your iPad, why wouldn't you?

NOVA Elements is a free app from PBS all about the periodic table, its unique set of properties, and how elements combine to make things you use every day. That coffee you're drinking? Yeah, it's made up of elements. You're ingesting tiny little molecules every time you take a sip, and they're interacting with other tiny little molecules in your stomach. Science is amazing!

The app features an interactive periodic table and a game that you can play afterward to help you recall what you're learned. The best part about this free app is that it features the two-hour NOVA program on elements, so you can watch the episode, then delve deeper afterward.
