Tech+Tools+1+-+Periodic+tables



There are so many cool periodic tables of the elements on the web! Here are a few of my current favorites. The periodic table is very abstract to students first learning science. It takes time to understand all the patterns and meaning in the structure, and all the information contained in the boxes.

**The photographic periodic table of the elements is here.** There are a lot of shiny, silvery metals. They were creative in how they illustrated gases, and also in how they illustrated those short-lived, synthetically-created, high-atomic-number elements at the bottom of the table.


 * This is a more standard representation of the periodic table, with lots of data on each element.

This one has videos about each element (don't miss lithium).**


 * This is the Multiple Intelligences version:** (I'm perfectly happy to give a little extra credit to students who learn it and perform it in class)
