A Fresh Look at the Periodic Table

Define

The problems we want to solve is we will make the new periodic table.

Discover

The problems:

What can we do to make the periodic table easier to read and learn?

  • The periodic table is hard to memorize
  • It is hard to read
  • Not enough color, making students unmotivated to use the periodic table

The challenges

  • The fact that elements can change from solid, liquid and gas.

This may cause problems when color coding.

  • Changing the periodic table, keeping in mind the elements and symbols.

 Dream

Big idea:

  • Alphabetical order
  • The colors that we can know that are solid/gas/liquid
  • Different shapes
  • Keep the color-coding technique
  • Organizing the periodic table into color groups
  • Keeping the metals and non-metals separated
  • Color coding for solid/gas/liquid

What info does the periodic table tell us?

It tells up about the element (metal/non-metal, atomic number)

Design

In our group, our plan is we make the periodic again and make easy to read. We make the periodic table like a cube.

Debrief

Improved:

  • We make solid go with solid
  • Liquid go with liquid
  • Gas go with gas
  • We draw an arrows, where is metal, nonmetal, metaloid and legend
  • We color it to so where is solid, liquid and gas
  • We make it like a cube
