Description

‘One of my favorite science-based apps...The Elements in Action is easy to navigate and attractively designed.’ – The New York Times The periodic table comes to life with 79 video explorations of the weird, wonderful, and sometimes alarming properties of the elements. Filmed by BAFTA award winner Max Whitby in partnership with Theodore Gray, author of the iconic book and app The Elements, and previously available only in a few museum installations, this is the most beautifully filmed collection of videos ever assembled to explore and explain what makes each element unique and fascinating. What happens when highly reactive rubidium is dropped into water? Or when a cannonball is placed in a pool of mercury? The Elements in Action shows you one definitive demonstration for (almost) every element, ranging from the bizarre to the sublime, all assembled in one place for you to view in the comfort and safety of your iPad, with very little danger of death by fire, dismemberment, or poisoning. The Elements in Action works as a stand-alone app, but really shines when combined with the original app, The Elements by Theodore Gray. Installed together, the two apps find each other and link together, allowing you to flip seamlessly between viewing the elements as objects of contemplation in the original, and objects of dynamic action in the second. Now fully translated into: English, Catalan, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

    I previously owned the full elements app and now only have access to the elements in action instead. I haven’t had an apple product in a decade and was disappointed to find out that I was grandfathered out of an app I paid money for. I am not the only user to experience this either as evident from other reviews. Don’t buy!
  • Awesome

    The demonstrations can be better and more plentiful, I had a teacher who did one a day and they were amazing.
  • Great app...but

    This app is wonderful and by an amazing author that got me interested in chemistry. The only complaint that I could find was that some elements don't have reactions such as iridium #77 and some of them aren't particularly exciting such as calcium #20> other than that 100% chemistry nerd approved!
  • Amazing reference tool

    Has multiple pages of information on all the elements, beautiful pictures and reference images. Excellent tool to use for educational purposes, teaching, etc. Is expensive, so has few reviews. Has few reviews, so no one buys it I guess. Catch 22.
  • Takes up half a GB and is missing elements

    The app takes up a ton of space. It's larger than my PDFs editing app plus all my PDFs combined by a wide margin. Also randomly doesn't have entries for element 21 and one or two others.
  • Buy nothing but this one

    This is the most fully rounded, interesting app about the elements. The others might be useful to a scientist, but they are NOT for public consumption. Don't waste your money. This one covers all the important bases that the others want you to pay for. This one has the miniature spinning element. It has real life interaction. It is just the best. I'm giving it four stars because the other apps by Theodore gray are so deceptive.

    I would love to be able to try out this app. There is plenty of free space on my iPad, but this app will not download.
