Testing yourself is one of the best ways to improve your knowledge, and this app is a great way to find out more about science. You can choose from different levels of questions, and they include everything from ‘Oncology is the study of?’ to ‘Centigrade and Fahrenheit scales give the same reading at?’. The questions are also timed, putting you under pressure.
Chemical Formulas
Budding scientists could get a huge helping hand with Chemical Formulas, an app that provides the formulas for over 1,500 different chemicals. You can scroll down through the list, with chemicals listed alphabetically, or you can also search by name.
