My 12-year-old son is working his way through Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Chemistry & Physics. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s forefront in my mind, but it seems like everywhere I turn lately on the internet, I see a neat idea or activity that relates to the periodic table. My son is really enjoying learning about chemistry right now, and yes, even the periodic table, which I remember to be quite boring when I was in school. Who knew there were so many interactive ways to learn about and explore it. Here are some of the things I’ve found (some of them we have done, and some of them just look really cool) –
