The interactive periodic table

The Periodic Table of Videos has been posting fascinating videos about chemical elements (and other chemistry) on YouTube for over six years. As their content is so rich, teachers and educators have found innovative ways to incorporate the Periodic Table of Videos into their own teaching.

Now, the project has partnered with the TED-Ed platform to make an interactive periodic table, allowing students to explore the videos by clicking on elements, and enabling teachers to build quizzes and lessons around the content. The collaboration aims to allow teachers to use the Periodic Table of Videos in new ways. 

Paul MacLellan goes down the rabbit hole of the TED-ed site to look at how this collaboration has enhanced a teaching resource.
