CER: How might cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table?

Cultural and historical contexts significantly influenced the development of the periodic table, shaping scientific discoveries through advances in chemistry, the evolution of scientific ideas, and the context in which these ideas emerged. The periodic table was shaped by the work of scientists like Dmitri Mendeleev, who is often credited with creating the first widely recognized version in 1869. Mendeleev's understanding of the periodicity of elements was influenced by earlier discoveries, such as John Dalton's atomic theory, and the development of new technologies, like spectroscopy, which allowed scientists to study the properties of elements in more detail. Thus, the periodic table was not just a product of individual discoveries but of the historical and cultural currents that shaped the scientific community at the time.

LABS

Airplane Lab

The airplane lab was to see how far the paper airplane could travel. We did result on the airplane by itself and the airplane with paper clips on it. The airplane itself flew further.

Bubble Lab

We did this lab to see which dish detergent would make the biggest bubble. The A-Jax ended up making the biggest bubble

PROJECTS

History of the Periodic Table

For this project I created Mount Rushmore using the people who contributed to the periodic table.

Element of Art

For this project recreated the element Protactinium. I put that the element is very toxic and dangerous.

Bohr Model

The project is the Bohr Model. I had the element Protactinium. I used the straws to show the electrons.
