Periodic Table Project

Periodic Table Project For your assessment over the periodic table, you will need to create a periodic table out of ordinary objects. You may cut pictures out of catalogs, magazines, use objects whatever it takes for creativity. • You will need to create families with characteristics in common. • You will need to name your families. • You will need to make a key that explains the families and their characteristics in common. • You may use the sheet of paper provided, or you may devise your own periodic table. • Your periodic table needs to make sense. • You need to include periodicity in your families. In other words, they need to change as you go down within the families.\ 5
