Periodic Table
Elements Unit

GRADE 8

These sites will help with the Periodic Table project in grade 8 science classes.

Chemical elements.com - An online, interactive periodic table designed especially for k-12 students which provides much information on the elements; both numeric and descriptive.

WebElements Periodic Table : Professional Edition
- As with the site above, this site gives a great deal of information about the elements.
WebElements Periodic Table : Scholar Edition - the same site as the Professional Edition above but meant for students in universities and other schools. (Not sure how different these pages actually are.)
Web Elements - This site seems to be a simpler version of the Professional Edition above. It is from Boston College.

The Periodic Table of Elements - - Clicking on the element symbol provides a tremendous amount of information, both numeric and descriptive. (Los Alamos National Laboratory's Chemistry Division Presents:
Periodic Table of the Elements: A Resource for Elementary, Middle School, and High School Students)

Periodic Table of the Elements
- - (Think Quest) This site contains only the numeric information when you click on an element.

The Pictorial Periodic Table
- - This site does not seem to be available at all times. It provides mostly numeric information, along with a few facts about the element.

Chemicool Periodic Table
- - The information given by this site is mostly in numeric form.

Periodic Table of the Elements
--This site provides very short descriptions when the name of the element is clicked.

Groups in the Periodic Table
- - While not as graphic as some of the other sites, this one does have valuable information, especially as to the discovery of the element.

ChemMystery Periodic Table of the Elements
-
This site used to have links from each of the areas of the periodic table, but at this time none of them work.  It is actually just a HUGE glossary of terms related to Chemistry. 

Periodic Tabl
e of Elements : Environmental Chemistry.com - - "This periodic table provides comprehensive data for each element (including up to 40 properties) and 3,600 nuclides (isotopes)."

Periodic Table
of Elements
- - This site, which uses frames, shows the periodic table on the top frame of each page.   But, depending on which of the other links you clicked on (Elements Info, Elements Data, and Isotopes), the information scrolls in a very small frame under this same periodic table.

HyperChemistry's Periodic Table of Elements
--This site provides numeric data as well as some descriptive information on the elements, but you need to search, clicking on the element in the table will not work.

"LUCID" Periodic Table of the Elements
--This site, from Louisiana State University, does not have information on each of the elements, but it does list some of the properties of the major groups.

Unit 4 Table of Contents
- - This site contains just some general information on the different groups.

Chem 4 kids
-
This site has a simple look and only covers the first 18 elements, but the information is useful.

The Periodic Table of Comic Books - This site uses comic book characters as alter egos for the various elements.

A visual Interpretation of the Table of Elements - This site looks very different from the others. It approaches the elements in a different fashion while also providing some of the same information which is available in other pages.
