Periodic Table Cards

The front of each card shows a beautiful photograph of the element, while the back includes detailed scientific information and a description of the sample shown on the front. Laid out together the cards form a periodic table over 7.5 feet (2.3m) wide. Unique graphical representations of the melting point, boiling point, density and electron configuration allow you to create plots of these for properties for all the elements simply by sliding the deck to one side or another. For example, you can easily find the element with the highest density, or the lowest boiling point, by sliding the deck left or right.

These cards are perfect for classroom use. Each student can be given a card or group of cards to learn about, or notions of chemical affinity can be explored by trying out different arrangements of the periodic table.
