The periodic table of elements is possibly the most widely recognized scientific model, and definitely one of the most important. It is also an elegant presentation of a vast body of information that, once you learn to read it, allows you to predict the behavior of elements and compounds. The periodic table itself functions as the investigative phenomenon for both lab activities in this kit. In Patterns in Electrons, students work to answer the driving question, "How are electron configurations reflected in the structure of the periodic table?" In Patterns in Chemical Bonding, they work to answer the driving question, "What patterns can be seen in the way elements form compounds, and how do these patterns reflect the structure of the periodic table?"
