Periodic Table of Elements

S2 Chemists have been studying patterns in the periodic table.  One of the highlights was reacting lithium and sodium with water.  Mrs Speirs will be pleased to know we were not able to react caesium, you can see why if you watch the video below.




S2 also enjoyed the following song by Tom Lehrer, circa 1959.



If you are interested in finding out more about the periodic table you can look at the following website.

I liked both the videos! I liked the first one because at the end it blows up the glass! I liked the other one because the song was ridiculous! -Nathan :)
