Chemist

Get it here.
Cost: 4.99 (full version); Free (lite version)



UDL Guideline 7.1- Optimize individual choice and autonomy
Chemist allows students to control the amount of time they spend on a task, discover how chemicals work together without direct instruction, and even allow access to chemicals that are too dangerous to use in the laboratory. There is no instruction or goal previously set for students, which enables students to guide themselves in a lab setting. These features provide for an autonomous laboratory experience for all learning types.

General Critique
The app provides feedback in the form of a balanced chemical equation for students if they create a reaction that can occur on a real lab bench. A simple design is the focus here, but better labels and an integrated tutorial (as opposed to a PDF guide) would be more helpful for student use.

See example below.
