Ward's® Chemistry Periodic Table Puzzle

Explore properties of elements while building your own periodic table.

• Each cube is printed with five elemental properties to demonstrate periodic trends

• Demonstration set includes all 118 elements
• Class set includes the Representative Elements H to Kr (34 elements total)
• Class set includes four boxes of 34 blocks

A beautiful set of hardwood cubes, with information about the elements on each face of each cube, this Periodic Puzzle, is an engaging teaching tool as well as a visually interesting classroom or lab display. Use atomic number, atomic mass, electron configuration, electronegativity, ionization energy, or atomic radius to organize the elements and build a periodic table. Organize the elements by a property trend and then look for the exceptions - what can we learn from the exceptions?

The Demonstration Set contains all 118 elements. The Classroom Set contains four sets of the first five rows of the representative elements (Groups 1 - 2, and 13 - 18), so four groups of students can study the properties and organize these 34 elements into a perfect periodic table. Unlike the Demonstration Model, the Classroom Set does not include those troublesome transition metals.
