Our table was made onto a cube, and sorted mainly by families like the Alkali Metals were on one side and the Alkali Earth metals were on another, and the Non-Metals were on another side too.  Some properties we understood were the families each element was a part of. anther thing we understand is the parts of an atom, the protons, neutrons that make up the nucleus, and the electrons that make up the outer shell, certain elements have a certain amount of neutrons and protons. Ionic bonds are formed when a metal and a non-metal join together by swapping electrons to make a complete shell.

 

Define:

“How can we rearrange the periodic table in a way that could still make sense?”

 

Discover:

1. How could we make a table of elements that is original and makes sense?
2. how can we fit it onto a certain shape?

 

Dream:

Some of the different shapes we thought about using were a cube, rectangular prism, sphere, and a cylinder.

 

Design:

My plan was to try to wrap the periodic table around a cube in a way that made sense. we sorted the elements in a way that separated them in their chemical families, like Alkali Metals, Earth Metals, Non-Metals, etc.

 

Delivery:

Our table is sorted with the elements in a way that separated them in their chemical families, like Alkali Metals, Earth Metals, Non-Metals, etc.

 

Debrief:

I think we could have improved on our table by sorting it in a more diverse and original way.
