There have been various designs of periodic table to try to keep together elements with similar properties. Some are even 3D designs. So I used the polypanel connection standard to design a periodic table puzzle to allow you to design your own logical arrangement of elements.
See if you can make a Mendeleev flower, a telluric screw, a spiral table, the left-step table, or Scerri's table.
I thought this might be an interesting educational tool to get kids to think about the relationships and similarities between elements: "Can you connect the puzzle pieces to keep the similar pieces together and their numbers in a logical order? Many have tried..." This kind of challenge and hands-on activity seems a better way to learn about relationships than wrote memorisation of numbers. Therefore, I included what seemed like the most important information for categorisation, leaving out information like melting temperature.
Whether an element is a halogen, noble gas, transition metal, etc, i
