Although it's very new, I think UMICH's Zydeco Inquiry <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zydeco-inquiry/id608543299?mt=8> has great potential as a flexible science education app. And flexibility is key for "state of the art" mobile app development, imho. Here's the blurb about it :
Now kids can do science inquiry on-the-go in fun and engaging ways!
Centered on an open-ended question, this iPad app comes will all the tools to help kids engage in planning scientific investigations, collecting and annotating multimedia data from anywhere, and analyzing that data to create scientific explanations. This app helps motivate kids to do science by promoting learning with others, collecting data that is interesting to them, and allowing ownership over their data. This app is ideal for inquisitive kids of all ages, class field trips, summer camps, and homeschoolers!
Educators at the University of Michigan and throughout Southeast Michigan have designed Zydeco. For more information, visit http://zydeco.soe.umich.edu/
I'd love to hear reports from others who have used this app, too.

I am interested in science apps. Can you post ones you think are exemplary and why you think so?I am looking for good examples, and maybe some not so good, to get some ideas of what is the current state of art or app development for a project. If you've developed any have they served your goals well?
Martin
