Ciara Ní Dhrisceoil reviews this teaching app

As a chemistry teacher of 16-18 year olds who use iPads in the classroom, I’m always looking for apps that allow students to construct molecules with 3D visualisation. 3D molecules edit&drill is a very effective app for this purpose as it allows organic and inorganic molecular structures to be built with single, double and triple bonds, as well as cyclic compounds.
