Periodic Table Cards

 I mentioned in an earlier post that the Chemistry summer assignment is to make Periodic Table cards based on this JCE article ,which sometimes opens and sometimes doesn’t.  I assigned specific colors for each group in order for the kiddos to be able to play the card game.  (I’ve assigned this activity for years.  So far, exactly one student was excited to play the card game.). Full disclosure: I have never made my own set.  Evidently I loaned out my set which a student game me.  (Okay, I made a few as examples.). Since my demo set is AWOL, I made my own.  Now I need a safe spot to preserve these cards forever.  It took me about three hours to make a card set.  This exercise helps the kiddos learn the names and symbols of many elements.  Really!
