Define: A challenge that our group had was when we were planning out our periodic table is that we didn’t know how we would arrange our periodic table in an organized and unique way. We also couldn’t meet up during the weekend to work on the periodic table, so we tried our best to work on it during class and one person finished up the remainder.

• Why is the bottom part of the periodic table separated from the others?
• How can we present our work in a nice, organized way?
• How did the periodic table get formed so well in an organized way that provides us enough information?

Dream: Our goal for this assignment is to make a new, unique, periodic table that is easy and simpler for students to understand. Our group also want to split the elements into a group of four, categorized by liquids, solids, gases, and elements that are named after scientists and chemists. We will keep the atomic number and mass number on our table, but the set up will be a bit different.

Deliver: Our group will publish our information in a parallelogram form that’s divided into 4 smaller parallelograms because we want something unique but also, something that could be spit into four parts without looking too odd. The atomic number increases downwards for each section and the elements are split into groups of their states (solid, liquid, and gas) and by the elements that are named after chemists and scientists.

Debrief: Our process went surprisingly well, except for when we didn’t have anytime outside of school to finish up gluing the elements onto the right place. I do believe that we could’ve done better but our group did learn a bit more about the periodic table and what types of elements there are.
