Learning Periodic Table

Free!

Learning Periodic Table is a reference guide for the periodic elements. To organize its content, the app categorizes each group of elements, and the categories include Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Noble Gases, Metalloids, Halogens, Other Nonmetals, Transition Metals, Post Transition Metals, Lanthanoids, and Actinoids. When users identify a classification of interest, they tap the classification’s icons, and the app lists the applicable elements. Users can then tap a specific element. When tapped, the app provides a detailed description of the element.

Instructional Ideas

1. When learning about the periodic elements, students can use this app as a study guide.
2. Teachers can design compare-and-contrast activities in which students research one group of elements, such as Metals or Noble Gases, and compare it to another group, such as Halogens or Post Transition Metals. Comparisons can be made regarding the elements’ atomic, thermodynamic, material, or electromagnetic properties. A Venn diagram or T-chart can be used to help organize the comparisons.
3. After reading a description of an element, teachers can have students illustrate it. Or, after learning about multiple elements, teachers can have students graphically portray how the elements bond together.
