The Presidential “Periodic Table” is an engaging activity that encourages high school chemistry students to match the names of the elements with their chemical symbols in order to spell out the names of the 43 U.S. presidents. By completing the puzzle, students reinforce their knowledge of both chemical elements and the names of the American presidents in chronological order.
In this activity, a periodic table displays U.S. presidents, rather than chemical elements (Figure 1). The only clues students are given to solve this puzzle are a series of blank spaces, element names, and each president’s chronological number (Figure 2). In order to uncover the president’s names, students must find the symbols that correspond to the element names given as clues and then rearrange these symbols to spell out each president’s name. See Figure 3 for the answer key.
