Take the periodic table into the digital age with QR codes that take the scanner to an audio recording about each element from the Royal Society of Chemistry. Enlarge the image, then use a smartphone or tablet to scan the code for an element to learn about some of the ways each element is used, the history of the element, and more. Have young chemists research different elements then share their findings with others, or assign one element for homework each night.
