A Fresh Look at the Periodic Table

New Periodic Table

Define/Discover:

We need to make a new periodic table with elements in different places than an original periodic table.

Questions:

  • Why is some elements in different places outside of the body of the table?
  • Could we categorize it in a different way? Is so how?
  • Why don’t they put in alphabetical order?
  • Why can you make it in a circle?
  • What different shapes can you make the periodic table?
  • Why isn’t it classified by density?
  • Could you flip the periodic table on its side?

Dream:

Make it in a hexagon

Different sections to have all the elements

Make a place to put the many metals

Colour code it 

Make it an oval
