Science games for kids — the periodic table
The periodic table is the first big reference chart most students meet, and the Elements App makes it something to explore and quiz rather than copy out.
Why it works
How TapToLearn teaches science
The whole table, tappable
All 118 elements with symbol, atomic number, period and group, and a detail card for each.
Two quizzes

Reference mode
When the quiz is done the table stays useful as a quick, clean reference.
