The Science Department at Royal High School Bath has introduced an exciting new Periodic Table, displaying samples of real elements in box frames, to inspire interest in the sciences for many years to come.
Students can now see what actual samples of things such as gallium, bismuth, rubidium or tellurium look like. The Table is back lit with coloured LED lighting and Noble Gases such as helium and neon have tubes illuminated like ‘neon’ lights.
Already Royal High pupils have shown a lot of interest when they have passed by or are waiting for lessons.
As well as a display it will also be regularly used as a teaching resource as the girls learn about the Periodic Table from Year 7 Science to A-level and IB Chemistry.
