Review: The features and layout in Molecules are very well designed and interactive. This app is great for those who love chemistry and want to play around and “geek” out. I rated this app high on all skills needed for the 21st century, for creativity and innovation, communication, and initiative and self-direction. The Molecules app helps build visual literacy for students to understand information presented through visible actions, objects and symbols, natural or man-made page 24 http://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/21stCenturySkills.pdf . Content shown on this app would be applicable in class for overhead projection of movement and 3D modeling of molecules. The app would be excellent for science “geeks”, who want to learn more or “geek out” about molecules outside of class (informal learning).
