Everything that exists, the living and non-living, the simple and highly complex, is made up of basic building blocks known as chemical elements. To organize these elements and to illustrate their relationships, scientists and students rely upon the Periodic Table. Watch this remarkable reference come to life with this informative and interactive program. The Interactive Periodic Table features a glossary of terms and fact-filled tutorials uncovering the history of the Periodic Table, defining what elements are, discussing isotopes and describing the arrangement of the modern Periodic Table. Users learn about the periods, the significance of a period's number, and the families of elements. Each family is explored, and the common characteristics of its members are described. The highlight of the program is an easy-to-use interactive Periodic Table. By selecting an element on the table, users access detailed information on the element including who discovered it and when it was discovered, the origin of its name, its uses, its sources and much more! This outstanding resource is a valuable supplement to any science class covering the Periodic Table. Windows
