Interpreting the Periodic Table Kit
Product Code : EL-PT-11150
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A grades 9 to 12 kit in which students find physical evidence of periodic trends through microscale experiments, simulate the organisation Mendeleev arrived at, and design their own arrangement of the elements. For 30 students in groups of 3.
The microscale approach is the distinguishing feature and it is a substantive advantage, not a cost saving. The listing states experiments are performed on microscale to reduce hazardous waste, which for a school means less reagent consumed, less waste to dispose of and a smaller quantity of anything hazardous present in the room at any time. The same chemistry, a fraction of the exposure.
What students actually do is discover periodicity by observing patterns in chemical reactions, rather than being told the trends and verifying them. Having found physical evidence of trends in element properties, they then use that knowledge to design their own arrangement of the elements, and simulate the organisation Mendeleev produced.
Designing their own arrangement before seeing the accepted one is the pedagogically important step. Students who have tried to order the elements themselves understand why the table looks as it does; students handed the finished table memorise it.
Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups of 3, which is 10 groups. The kit includes classroom-safe elements, periodic table element information cards and other materials, though that last phrase is not itemised. Request the full component list and the safety data sheets for the elements supplied before ordering.
