- An interactive periodic table that would allow you to view physical and chemical properties of any element by touching its chemical symbol.
- A graphical tool for visualizing the kinetics of chemical reactions.
- An app that allows the user to set the dissociation constant of an acid or base to see how that acid/base would look in solution (the higher the constant, the more molecules are dissociated). Could also have a concentration slider control and a pH display.
For biology/physiology:
- An osmosis simulator with controls for setting concentrations and degree of permeability. May have graphical displays showing the change in concentration on both sides of membrane.
- A simulator for studying electrical and concentration gradients across a membrane.
- An interactive biological cell. Tapping on an organelle would give you information about its function, associated pathologies, etc.
I could come up with dozens of more ideas, but that would be a nice start!

Interesting! My most favorite among your ideas is "An app that allows the user to set the dissociation constant of an acid or base to see how that acid/base would look in solution (the higher the constant, the more molecules are dissociated). Could also have a concentration slider control and a pH display.". That could be indeed helpful. But for the meantime, we can rely on helpful references about dissociation constant found on the web such as this: http://dissociationconstant.com/
