This “hands-on” element set enables students to pick up and safely investigate properties of elements. Teaching characteristics of metals, nonmetals and relationships between periods and groups in the periodic table has never been so easy!

Complete set includes 14 samples of 11 different elements and activity ideas. The elements provided are aluminum, carbon, copper, iron, magnesium, nickel, lead, sulfur, silicon, tin and zinc. Three forms of copper (shot, strip and wire) and two allotropic forms of carbon (graphite and charcoal) are included with the set to show students that elements may take on various appearances. Each element comes in a durable plastic zipper-lock bag labeled with the name, symbol and group number of the contents. Oversized storage tray allows extra space for your own creative additions to the set!
