Periodic Table

Videos about each element

From Suzanne:
"I have a thing for periodic tables!  That doesn't mean I know them very well, I just really like them. :)

Here's a cool one.  If you mouse over an element, it'll show you a bigger pic, give you a description, and tell you some facts.

Check out Mendelevium and Americium.  Fun stuff!"

Mystery of the Periodic Table [Kindle Edition]

Benjamin Wiker (Author), Jeanne Bendick (Illustrator)

Leads the reader on a delightful and absorbing journey through the ages, on the trail of the elements of the Periodic Table as we know them today. He introduces the young reader to people like Von Helmont, Boyle, Stahl, Priestly, Cavendish, Lavoisier, and many others, all incredibly diverse in personality and approach, who have laid the groundwork for a search that is still unfolding to this day. The first part of Wiker's witty and solidly instructive presentation is most suitable to middle school age, while the later chapters are designed for ages 12-13 and up, with a final chapter somewhat more advanced.
