Nine Terrific Educational Apps for Android
These fantastic Android apps make learning interesting if not outright fun. From memory tools to “I never knew that” trivia and reference apps, these educational apps for Android bring entertainment and education together.
Google Sky Map
Point your mobile device's camera toward the night sky, and the heavens come to earth. Find constellations, identify starts, asteroids or “Messier objects.” View stars, planets, the horizon or grid lines. Find specific objects by typing its name, pointing, then follow the directional arrow on your phone's screen. Discover Celest and Deluxe Moon, for example.
The app uses your Android mobile's GPS to coordinate from on-board stellar maps.
FactBook
This reference app interfolds data from the CIA World Fact Book, United Nations information and Wikipedia.
Search for statistics and other information by region, country or statistical rankings, for instance. Read solo country information or compare with other regions in a comfortable side-by-side display. Rotate your phone to a horizontal presentation, and you can view a slide show as you read related data.
FactBook has a free version that is supported by ads, or you can purchase the app for $2.99 and be ad-freee.
Memory Trainer
Excellent for strengthening memory in users of all ages, Memory Trainer is most effective when used daily. Simple puzzles and “problems” progress in difficulty and complexity to keep neural pathways open and active within our brains. Reputed to be quite effective against the ravages of Alzheimer's.
Memory Trainer also aids retention and improvement in concentration, spatial memory and focus.

Alchemy

Combine the elements to make a new elements, eventually making such items as electricity, algae, basic life – vampires and more.
Drag any element onto the question mark icon, and read a related Wikipedia entry on it along with live links to more information.
