This book is about how students are taught the periodic table.
It reviews aspects of the periodic table's development, using the
history and philosophy of science. The teaching method presented in
this book is ideal for teaching the subject in high school and at
introductory university level.
Chemistry students taught in this new, experimental way are
compared with those taught in the traditional way and the author
describes how tests found more conceptual responses from the
experimental group than the control group.
The historical aspects of importance to this teaching method are:
the role of the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860; the accommodation of
the chemical elements in the periodic table; prediction of elements
that were discovered later; corrections of atomic weights;
periodicity in the periodic table as a function of the atomic
theory; and the accommodation of argon.
The experimental group of students participated in various
activities, including: discussion of various aspects related to the
history and philosophy of science; construction of concept maps and
their evaluation by the students; PowerPoint presentations; and
interviews with volunteer students."
