Build a Large Scale Periodic Table Project
Students will build a large-scale periodic table of the elements with a cover page (what you normally see in a periodic table) and a detail page for each of 112 elements (can be extended to include more recently discovered elements). The elements can be displayed on a wall to form a giant periodic table. This is a great project where students get to do work independently to acheive a larger goal over multiple class periods. You can divide elements between multiple classes to expedite the complet
