Advertising the Elements

Elena Maldonado-Vargas, a chemistry teacher at The University of Puerto Rico High School in San Juan, Puerto Rico

When studying the Periodic Table, my students make a newspaper or a television advertisement for an element. Each group must show how the properties of the elements are useful to human beings. They can sell their product by using comedy, drama, rap or poems. This activity gives meaning to studying the Periodic Table.

I like that idea! I have my high school chem students design Facebook pages for the elements, complete with "Friends" and comments on their "Wall".
