Books with title Periodic Table

The periodic table is a creative construction of order and organization. But what happens when the elements get into an argument over who is most important? A contest is arranged to settle the question, but they need a judge for this hastily arranged competition. They decide on Noah, a chemist-to-be, who has studied them all most carefully. Noah listens with reflection as each element makes the case for his selection. Then, when the contest is done, and Noah must say who won, it is clear he is wise beyond his years and tells them all what they need to hear. “A Periodic Fable” is a fanciful and poetic look at the periodic table for children and adults of all ages.

Reflecting changes endorsed by the American Chemical Society and various state education departments, this chart displays the name, symbol, atomic number, atomic weight (based on carbon 12) and the electron configuration (ground state) for each element. -- Naturally occurring elements are in bold blue; synthetic elements are in outline blue. The chart is printed in two colors on heavyweight, coated paper. Top and bottom binding strips and two hanging loops make this table ideal for use in your classroom or laboratory. Found in Chemistry

This series uses a common or well-known element to look at the groups of the periodic table and to show the similarities and differences between elements. It uses full-colour illustration of the periodic table and shows the chemical symbol for each element in place, alongside its neighbours. Chemical formulae for common compounds are also shown. Information boxes and tables contain listings of facts and figures. Chemical reactions are interpreted as word equations, and timelines chart the history and discovery of the elements.

Ideal for today's young investigative reader, each A True Book includes lively sidebars, a glossary and index, plus a comprehensive "To Find Out More" section listing books, organizations, and Internet sites.
