A Fresh Look at the Periodic Table-Anita, Ellie, and Sana

 


DEFINE: 

How can we create a periodic table arranged in an organized way? How can we make this table symmetric while having it scientifically correct? Is there a way to make it stand out from the other periodic tables?

DISCOVER:

What are the important categories in the periodic table?

How can our table be easily understood by students?

What are some ideas we can use that are in the periodic table?

DREAM:

Our periodic table shows solids, gases, liquids and founder named elements in easily understandable way. Its based on its state at room temperature. Its shape will be a parallelogram so it looks like a literal table. Its colours are bright against the black poster board. If this periodic table is recognized enough, it might be able to become something more three dimensional like a table made out of wood instead of a poster.

DESIGN:

Our plan is to make a table with four different sections : solids, gases, liquids and founder named elements in an understandable way for students.

DELIVER:

This periodic table is a literal table! It is organized and visually represented in way to educate students our age in an easy way. It is in four different sections, solids, gases, liquids and founder named elements and it is placed by atomic number. It is unique enough to appeal visually and informationally but is also similar enough to the original table to not confuse people.

DEBRIEF:

 I could have planned better by organizing my groups time management. Although we all worked on the planning, the final product was not split very evenly and so I had to finish the final product. Even if the time management was not the best, the rest of the project worked out fine. I have learnt a few things while making this table and I know that it will help me through out the rest of my chemistry unit in science.

  1. Thanks for your explanation of how you used the solution fluency to re-imagine the periodic table. Good job including media showing what your new periodic table looks like. Could you check on the picture of your table as it seems to be a broken link. Good reflection on your product and the solution fluency process.
