Chemistry Essentials
Periodic Table Project
OPTIONAL PROJECT
Objective: Construct an original Periodic Table of some “everyday object/concept/idea”—known as “elements” for this project
Requirements/limitations:
1.
You must have at least 20 “elements” in your table
2.
All objects/concepts/ideas must be related (i.e. The Periodic Table of Metal Bands – this idea has been done and cannot be chosen.)
3.
Objects/concepts/ideas may be animate or inanimate.
4.
You must organize your objects/concepts/ideas in a PT-like format (rows and columns) – at least 4 columns and 4 rows. It does not have to have the same shape as the Periodic Table of the Elements.
5.
Objects/concepts/ideas in same column must be a “family” – similar property or properties—remember it is “periodic”.
6.
Objects/concepts/ideas in same row must have a property or properties that change in a predictable manner as you go across the row – remember it is “periodic”.
7.
Each “square” of your table must contain a.
Name of object/concept/idea b.
A symbol for the object/concept/idea c.
Picture or drawing of the object/concept/idea d.
Values for at least three properties of the object/concept/idea. i.
You can choose/create the properties ii.
You can choose/create the values as long as they are consistent.
8.
Poster size: no larger than 11” x 17”
9.
Poster material – poster board or similar stiffness
10.
Your table must have a title The Periodic Table of _________________________ at the top
11.
Your table may have “blanks” for “missing elements.”
12.
Your name and period number must be on the back of the poster
13.
Neatness is important --- use a ruler. You can make the squares on a computer and then cut them out and attach them to the poster
14.
Attach to the back of your poster the reasoning you used for your table, including any “missing” objects/concepts/ideas. Include many examples from your table.
Questions? See Mrs. Chambers during conference or make an after school appointment
