Modeling the Periodic Table: Interactive Simulation

Authors

What if students could learn the periodic table with a fun, interactive simulation? On the Web, or downloaded to your computer, you can engage students in creating their own models of the periodic table. Check out this new approach to learning about elements and the periodic table. This interactive science activity focuses on the origin and evolution of the modern Periodic Table. If you are using Genesis science modules for the first time, read the User's Guide thoroughly before you begin. http://genesismission.jpl.nasa.gov/educate/scimodule/usergd.html
