ELEMENTORUM vs AP Visual Memory Trainer

Learn the elements of the periodic table in a playful way. All chemical elements have a natural position in the periodic table, which are queried in a quiz-like manner in this ELEMENTORUM app. The tasks are designed so that you benefit from learning how professional chemists memorize the arrangement of the elements. And here's a secret: Very few chemists know ALL chemical elements and their positions in the periodic table by heart. However, what every chemist knows exactly are the main group elements such as H, O, N, C etc. Of the 9 levels in this app, the first 4 levels focus solely on the main group elements. Only then do the subgroup elements such as Co, Ni, Fe, etc. come. In ELEMENTORUM, the subgroup elements are added to the quiz questions in levels 5 to 7. And only the very diligent ones learn the lanthanides and actinoids by heart. But take on the challenge in levels 8 and 9 and try to solve all the tasks correctly. And here's another secret: No chemist learns the periodic table line by line, or row by row, or period by period. Chemists learn the periodic table from top to bottom, column by column, or group by group. And why? Because elements in the same column or group have the same or similar chemical properties. For example, the alkali metals Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs. Or the halogens F, Cl, Br and I. Or the noble gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe. So it simply makes more sense for a chemist's work to memorize the elements in groups than in periods. In the ELEMENTORUM app you are shown a section of the periodic table in each task, i.e. 3-4 rows (periods) and 3-4 columns (groups). The position of one element should be found. Orientate yourself on which elements are to the left and right of the element you are looking for, but focus in particular on the elements that are above and below. Then, with a little practice, you will be able to assign more and more elements to the correct positions and become a master of the periodic table.

The AP Visual Memory Trainer — a fun and interactive iOS app designed especially for students of all ages! This app uses a clever trick called Schulte Tables, which are grids that help sharpen your focus, memory, and visual skills. Imagine a 5×5 grid filled with 25 cells, and two exciting games that challenge you in different ways: 1. Visual Memory Challenge (Match Numbers) In this game, you get to train your memory by looking at a grid where some cells show numbers for just a second. Your task is to remember exactly where these numbers are placed. You can choose how many spots you want to test yourself on, making it as easy or as challenging as you like! 2. Sequence Sprint (Schulte Table) You can monitor your activity and progress using History and Statistics tabsHere’s a fast-paced challenge where you must find and tap all 25 numbers in the right order as quickly as possible. It’s like a race against time that helps sharpen your focus and speeds up your thinking. You are able to monitor your activity and progress using History and Statistics tabs. You can use the focus (concentration) marker in the center of the screen to properly develop your peripheral vision. To diversify your user experience with the app, you can choose from several themes for numbers. After each session of the game, the app calculates the percentage of your success and provides additional visual information that you can use for self-checking and improving of your skills.
