Periodic Table Trends
In class we are learning about the Periodic Table. It is one of my favorite units. I have always been amazed at how all the elements in the world can be arranged so neatly into a such a small organized space. The placement of an element on the periodic table can tell us loads of information. In fact, Dimitri Mendeleev, the creator of the periodic table, was able to predict almost perfectly the properties of several elements that had not even been discovered at that time! We are going to use excel to determine some of the trends, or organizational patterns, of the periodic table. Instructions can be found in the link: Graphing the Periodic Table. We will be using Mocrosoft Excel to graph our data. Please feel free to listen to the podcast for instructions on how to best create a graph using this program. There is also a link which corresponds to the podcast and gives visual instructions.

This is a great blog! I think you have done a great job and this will really enhance your lesson! Blogs and podcasts are an awesome way to reach all of your students at this grade level.
Nice site and critical information at a finger tip now. This is something they cannot loose in the hall or accidentally throw away. I am looking forward to hearing the podcast companion. Are you planning to hyperlink each element to a periodic table webpage on line or are they creating their own podcasts to post for each element? There is so much that can be done with this topic. For instance perhaps after you have a periodic table, hyperlink each chemical to a website page that further explains it and allows the student to explore it more in depth.
