GoReact is another interactive app of the periodic table elements. In addition to information about the elements, it also let you test out reactions. Pick out some elements and see what will happen if you mix them together. I like the fact that it include many reactions happening in our everyday life. It is a great app for kids who have not official studied chemistry.

Chemist is another hands-on chemistry app. The setting is more like what is going to happen in a chemistry lab. Kids not only just mix elements together, they actually handle the lab equipment. Kids will pour the beaker, suck and release the burette in the 3D virtual lab and do any operation just like they do in the real lab.

EMD PTE is a quite comprehensive periodic table for those who is studying chemistry. For each element, it has more information than other apps we mentioned earlier. From classification to element features to their history of discovery, from relative atomic mass, to melting point to boiling point, density, appearance and additional properties for each individual element.

Periodic Table on pTable is quite amazing. You will see different elements being highlighted depending where your computer mouse is. When you pick your mouse over a particular element on the table, more information on that element will show up. This table also functions well on iPad.

Chemical Elements is another website with interactive periodic tables. This page I linked to is the table showing element names, but if you click on the “go to main page” link above the table, you will have options to go tables by charges, atomic mass, boiling points, and more.
