Chemistry is a fascinating, but complex subject. And if the school also did not have accessories for experiments, it can be said that she had passed by. But there is something that every person should at least minimize. This is a Mendeleev table.
For schoolchildren to learn it - real torture. If they see it in dreams, then only nightmarish. So many elements, each of your number ... But one large mother came up with an entertaining way, how to learn the Mendeleev table. It is suitable for both children and adults, and you will gladly tell you the reaction "so simple!".
Periodic Table of Chemical Elements
As the experience of the mother of four children Karin Tripp shows, with the right approach it is possible to learn everything. To bring even small children to the study of chemistry, she decided to turn the periodic table of elements in the seabed field.
The game contains four pages with a Mendeleev table - two for each player. Each player on one table needs to draw his ships, and on the other - to designate their shots and knocking coils of the opponent.
Sea Fight Rules are the same as in a classic game. Only to shoot the rival boat, you need to be called a letter C number, but an appropriate chemical element.
This technique will allow children not only to learn the names of the chemical elements. It contributes to the development of memory and logical thinking. After all, children will analyze ordinal numbers and colors.
In order for children at first it was easier to find the desired element, rows and columns should be numbered by numbers. But, according to Karin, her children, after a few days of the game in the "Chemical Sea Battle", began to navigate in the Mendeleev table. They even knew even atomic masses and sequence numbers of elements.
Over time, the rules of the game can be complicated. For example, placing the ship only within one family of chemical elements.
Even eight-year-old daughter of an inventive mother, who has not studied chemistry at school playing this game with pleasure. And for adults, this is a great way to enforce time.
All Pages of the Mendeleev table for playing the sea battle can be printed on the usual or color printer and use an unlimited number of times.
We believed, Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev would appreciate this approach to the study of his work.
