About this item
Explore properties of elements while building your own periodic table.
Each cube is printed with 5 elemental properties to demonstrate periodic trends
- Available in two sizes - the Demonstration set (Elements 1 to 54) and the Class set (Elements 1 to 20)
- Class set includes 8 kits
A beautiful set of hardwood cubes, with information about the elements on each face of each cube, this Periodic Puzzle, is an engaging teaching tool as well as a visually interesting classroom or lab display. Use atomic number, atomic mass, electron configuration, electronegativity, ionization energy, or atomic radius to organize the elements and build a periodic table. Organize the elements by a property trend and then look for the exceptions - what can we learn from the exceptions?
Choose from the demonstration model or the Classroom Set, which contains four sets of the first five rows of the representative elements (Groups 1 to 8), so four groups of students can study the properties and organize these 34 elements into a perfect periodic table. Unlike the Demonstration Model, the Classroom Set does not include those troublesome transition metals.
