For the Periodic Table Project, students will create a small poster of the key information of their element as researched during the Element Profile Project.  Each student will receive a piece of colored paper measuring 22 cm long and 19 cm wide.  Note: the color of the paper is important!  Only use the color of paper provided to you.  For the Periodic Table Project, orient the paper in landscape (long sides on the top and bottom – this is really important!!!).

The following information must be written clearly and big enough to be seen from across the room:

• Element symbol
• Atomic Number

The following information must be written clearly and big enough to be seen from at least half-way across the room:

• Element name
• Average (relative) atomic mass

Please include at least two additional pieces of information someone could easily see if standing near your poster:

• Picture of the element (check classroom bookshelf)
• Origin of element name
• How, when, and where the element was discovered
  • Check Element Profile Project post for select elements
• Products element is used in
  • Check Element Profile Project post for select elements
• Explanation of how element is obtained
  • Check Element Profile Project post for select elements

CompoundChem.com also has a treasure trove of really amazing infographics.  The links below are resources compiled from that website to help you in your quest to complete this assignment.  Determine the group your element is in, the click the link:

• Group 2 – The Alkaline Earth Metals
• The Transition Metals
• Group 3 – The Icosagens
• Group 4 – The Crystallogens
• Group 5 – The Pnictogens
• Group 6 – The Chalcogens
• Group 7 – The Halogens
• Group 8 – The Noble Gases
• The Lanthanides (elements 57-71)
• The Actinides (elements 89-103)
