Students work together to develop a Periodic Table of Cookies using a process similar to the one Mendeleev used to organize then-known elements into a table. Once they set up the table, they can use what they have learned to predict the characteristics of missing cookies. This interactive class activity introduces the relationships between patterns, classification, and periodicity. The kit includes a manipulative set of 35 laminated cookies, each is unique, but they share characteristics so they can be arranged into groups and sorted, a 3 meter roll of self-adhesive, magnetic tape, instructions.
