Reviewer Comments:

• In this project, pairs of high school chemistry students are challenged to make a 3D periodic chart demonstrating how a property is a function of periodicity. (Suggested properties include melting point, boiling point, density, atomic radius, first ionization potential, electronegativity, and thermal conductivity.) Included student instructions are clear, although teachers may need to initially demonstrate the construction of a “bar.” Construction of the “bars” will require students to determine scale since it is suggested that each maximum property value (and corresponding maximum “bar” height) should equal 10 cm. Included is a class checklist that suggests a grading scale for the project. This resource would benefit from an answer key for the trend worksheet or a photo of a completed project. But, overall, it is a great idea to make trends in chemistry more visual and less abstract and the activity can be used immediately in any classroom with a periodic table.
