Cool Interactive Periodic Table!

Do you remember when you first learned about the components of the periodic table? Orbitals? Oxidation numbers? Valence electrons? I was one confused mess in high school!

The Dynamic Periodic Table is a tool that could be used to help students understand the relationships of the elements. It is interactive and contains a lot of information about each of the elements, their properties, and how they interact and relate with one another. You can also look up photos, videos, and even podcasts about individual elements! I have not explored it all yet, but it looks like a great way to make the periodic table more manageable for students.
