Instead of simply calling out numbers, the balls have the names of the elements of the periodic table inscribed on them too.
The rest of the rules remain the same, except the score cards only display the chemical abbreviations, so you need to know them all before you can play, and of course the compère
must make up appropriate jokey quips for deviants such as Selenium, or Tellurium.

"Big Science" group doing periodic table bingo [nineteenthly, Oct 27 2010]
periodic table card game

This is a bit closer to [19thly]'s top trumps idea, but with a neat mechanism for teaching valency. [pertinax, Oct 30 2010]
Only vaguely related - too bad the first link is no longer.

There really should be a Bingonium. |
|
| |
That's tomorrow's session sorted. I was going with periodic table Top Trumps, but now i think i'll do this. Definite bun from me! |
|
| |
Bingo is commonly used in language classes- I like the
chemical twist. |
|
| |
Even better, shout out just the numbers, but only have the symbols printed on the card. Play for money. Science education for fun and profit. Like the scene in "Evolution" where David Duchovny gets inspiration from Julianne Moore's T-shirt. |
|
| |
IT HAS THE PERIODIC TABLE PRINTED ON IT, you dirty-minded bunch of reprobates ! |

Excellent work, [19thly].
(but I can't help but think "73.They mine it in the Congo" is actually "Um-Bongonium". |
|
| |
Me too. Some of them are a bit lame at the moment, particularly the rare earths, and others are not particularly bingo-y. |
|
| |
I've got some rare earths at home (well, rare earth oxides actually - praesodymium, etc.) |
|
| |
You mean in quantity, [hippo]? As opposed to in TV sets, magnets or whatever? |
|
| |
Incidentally, this is now Baked. I did it this afternoon, it went down a storm and [eleventeenthly] video'd it. |
|
| |
There may be a sixty-six that is radioactive. Arsenic for example. |
|
| |
Sorry, has to appeal to the teenage and younger mind. |
|
| |
It would be neat if the balls were made out of their
respective elements. Gases, liquids and radioactives
would be a problem, though. I can see having a
plastic shell of some kind containing Mercury, Radon
and the like. |
|
| |
I just used little squares of paper in a plastic bag, but you can get those periodic tables with the little phials of elements in them. Maybe something like that. |
|
| |
Wouldn't everyone have the same card - a periodic table? Every game would end in a tie involving everyone paying attention. |
|
| |
I used four cards: hydrogen/alkali metals/alkali earths; transition metals; p-block elements plus helium; rare earths and actinides. The main problem was that they were different sizes, but it turned out the alkali bit, which i think were the smallest selection, took a long time to fill up because it was the smallest, i presume because they aren't as likely to come up, so it sort of balances out. There could be a side exercise about probability, come to think of it. |
|
| |
// everyone have the same card // |
|
| |
No. Cards could be printed with 50 elements randomly highlighted. That gives plenty of permutations. All players get a different card. Then it's "luck of the draw", plus a quick memory for atomic numbers. |
|
| |
[19thly] Yes, not loads, but a jarful. |
|
| |
Wow! So, a small lump of each? Stamped with names or marked in some way? They must all be hard to distinguish, mustn't they? Incidentally, they and the transactinides were the hardest to find nicknames for. |
|
| |
No they're powders - my wife uses them to make
glazes for her ceramics business. |
|
| |
Oh, right. Interesting source of chemicals i haven't previously considered (for the home ed stuff). Thanks. |
|
| |
How was it [nineteenthly]? Enjoyable or torturous? |
|
| |
This has to be the best idea I've seen, surrounding the periodic table. The only atomic weight I can remember is that of Barium... 137.84 |
|
| |
I found it enjoyable but began to think they were getting bored. The pair with the alkali metals and alkali earths were initially frustrated because they had the fewest elements and the probability of them getting one early was lowest, but that also meant their card filled up more quickly. It turned out none of them got bored and they all really enjoyed it. One thing you don't see on that video is that when i initially announced we were doing something on the periodic table they all groaned, but their enthusiasm increased as the game went on. |
|
| |
You are to be complimented on the time and trouble taken in order to make this a rewarding educational venture for young people. |
|
| |
Thanks, but it's a pleasure actually. I was concerned that you might feel i'd stolen your idea. |
|
| |
What, plagiarism in the HalfBakery ? Perish the thought ... |
|
| |
This place is partly an anemometer. It's like Charles Fort's "steam engine time". |
|
| |
Does it measure wind, or just "hot air" ... ? |
|
| |
snappy comeback not found. |
|
| |
Thanks for the link, [pertinax]. Quite close to what i imagined as it happens. |
|
| |
My pleasure, [19thly]. Actually, I should declare an interest; it was invented by a family friend. |
|
| |
Oh, that's brilliant. How successful is it? |
|
| |
Bump. Sorry about this: makes it easier for someone to find. |
