CTR Review

CTR review status: pending. The following description was excerpted from the publisher description. ChemCrafter lets you build your own Chemistry lab and run experiments. You can use the Chem-o-convertor to measure energy released and gain points that unlock new experiments, equipment, and additional chemicals, then use your new supplies to craft more gases, liquids, and solids. As you experiment with water, acids, and salts, you’ll create color changes, encounter fire and smoke, release various gases, and shatter equipment. In addition, your achievements earn you a set of trophy-room badges. The app was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation through their program that provides funds and grants to various platforms that depict science in a realistic light (http://www.sloan.org/major-program-areas/public-understanding-of-science-and-technology/new-media/).
