A Fresh Look At The Periodic Table

Define

We had to redefine and redesign the periodic table in a different way than it is now.

Discover

The questions we came up with were:

  • What are the different ways that we could make the periodic table?
  • How will we sort out the different groups (Alkaline earth metals, transitional metals ETC)?
  • How could we design the periodic table?
  • What will we need to make the periodic table?
  •  Will we need to color code the periodic table in any way?
  •  Will we need to make more groups for the elements? 
  • What different shapes could we make the elements in?

Dream

What information does the periodic table tell you

  • The different elements and how they are sorted in the table.  
  • Element name, element symbol, atomic number/ electrons and protons, atomic mass, its placement and grouping, Ion charges.

Deliver

We rearranged the new periodic table in triangles and by grouping, Then we arranged it by element name, symbol, atomic number, electrons/ protons, atomic mass and its ion charges

Debrief

We could have worked harder on it like colouring it in or making it more clear.
