Living Science - The Ever-Changing Periodic Table

A community builds a table of chemical elements

Living Science: Periodic Table of Elements
 Living Science - The Ever-Changing Periodic Table! This incredible interactive display was made possible by the Women & Philanthropy of the University of Toledo.


The display shows real-life examples of each of the 118 known elements and include interactive screens displaying various apps related to the periodic table. Click here to see how the project progressed!
