There was a very cool light up periodic table of the elements. As you see here, only a few are lit up. There were buttons you could press that would show you (by only lighting up those elements) what you were made up out of, or other things. Very cool.
At the beginning of the year I had my students make little cards of each element on the periodic table. I finished up the cards during midterms. Finally, I've gotten some time to start constructing our periodic table. It's still unfinished, but it will be, and it will be beautiful.

Boron by histand.etsy.com
I chose the element, Boron, because it was one of the first elements
on the periodic table. I knew nothing about it, and, frankly, don't
think there should be much excitement over it. It is an ingredient in
emergency flares, and has other pyrotechnic uses as well. It gives off
a green light when burned.
I employed a monoprint technique, cutting stencils to label the B and
the 5 in the print.

ВЫБОР МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА.
Mendeleev’s Choice!
"Пусть тут меня судят, как и кто хочет, мне не в чем каяться, ибо ни капиталу, ни грубой силе, ни своему достатку я ни на йоту при этом не служил, а только старался и, пока могу, буду стараться дать плодотворное, промышленно-реальное дело свое стране... Науки и промышленность — вот мои мечты"
Д.И. Менделеев
ВЫБОР МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА.
БиБиСи сообщило, что «31 января 2015 исполняется 150 лет со дня защиты Д.И.Менделеевым докторской диссертации "Рассуждение о Соединении Спирта с Водою". Некоторые называют эту дату днем рождения водки, другие считают, что юбилей этот абсолютно надуманный».
Но мы-то знаем, что дело не в водке! Менделеев не списал свой диссер у, скажем, Лавуазье, и не основал оффшорную компанию "Водку Народу!", чтобы быстренько конвертировать свои спиртосодержащие открытия в твёрдую валюту и домик в Лондоне. Он сделал свои замечательные находки достоянием всего прогрессивного человечества безвозмездно (то есть - даром). А сам продолжил заниматься своей химией и его имя вписано навечно золотыми буквами в мировую науку Периодической Системой Элементов, открытой через четыре года. Есть вещи, кторые нельзя измерить деньгами, должностями, степенями и титулами. ЗА ВЫБОР МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА!
Уточнение: На самом деле БиБиСи может ошибаться и диссертацию Менделеев защитил 31 января по старому стилю (т.е. 12 февраля), но год, 1865, назван правильно.
Mendeleev’s Choice!
According to BBC.com, 150 years ago D. Mendeleev, great Russian chemist, and a "father" of The Periodic Table, had defended his Doctor of Science dissertation. The title was "On the Combinations of Water with Alcohol, which, many believe, resulted in creation of VODKA. He could cash his dissertation, selling vodka, as many unknowns did, and become a "Russian Alfred Nobel", though he had chosen science and discovered the Periodic Law four years later. Now and forever every high school student and every chemist knows his name as a part of Periodic Table of Elements.
For Mendeleev’s Choice!
A fineprint: the actual day of Mendeleev’s dissertation defense likely was January 31st, Julian calendar, which is February, 12th, the year, 1865, is correct.
These were for my friend Eileen's sister-in-law-to-be's shower. It was science-themed so Eileen, her sister and their mom added the labels to make it into a periodic table!

Element Number 16 - Linoleum - from the Periodic Table of Rejected Elements
Accounting Departments don't always have to be boring... This Periodic Table has held a place of honor on every cork board I've ever had in my office. It makes me laugh every time I look at it.
My personal favorite is Rejected Element Number 12 - Pekingese... ;-)
The table was created by Michael Gerber and Jonathan Schwarz, and first published in The Atlantic-Online, the digital version of the Atlantic Monthly, in August of 1999.
Right Sleeve with names of fungi. Knitted for my husband around 1993 from Lion Brand Wool Ease. Worked without a chart, directly from an old chemistry textbook (it's missing some of the older elements). This took me 10 days to knit. The entire sweater was done freehand, without calculating ahead of time except to make sure that the Period Table would fit on the front and back. The body is knitted in the round and the sleeves are steeked.

"In all my experiments I could, owing to lack of time, pay attention to only those matter which appeared to have a bearing upon practical optics"
—Joseph von Fraunhofer
This periodic table of the elements is a table owned by Theodore Gray. Under each wooden square is a sample of the element in question.
A very brittle metal similar to its neighbors bismuth and arsenic.Nowhere near as poisonous as arsenic.
Not to be confused with acrimony , or alimony, which are usually found together...
There are the so-called inert gases in the air we breathe. They bear curious Greek names of erudite derivation which mean "the New," "the Hidden," "the Inactive," and "the Alien." They are indeed so inert, so satisfied with their condition, that they do not interfere in any chemical reaction, do not combine with any other element, and for precisely this reason have gone undetected for centuries. As late as 1962 a diligent chemist after long and ingenious efforts succeeded in forcing the Alien (xenon) to combine fleetingly with extremely avid and lively fluorine, and the feat seemed so extraordinary that he was given a Nobel prize. They are also called the noble gases—and here there's room for discussion as to whether all noble gases are really inert and all inert gases are noble. And, finally, they are also called rare gases, even though one of them, argon (the Inactive), is present in the air in the considerable proportions of 1 percent, that is, twenty to thirty times more abundant than carbon dioxide, without which there would not be a trace of life on this planet.

Sepia because it gives a rustic feel - it sure has been a long time since we used one.
