Periodic Table Challenge

Periodic Table Challenge

by Susannah, 18 Jun 2019

A fun way of exploring the periodic table and linguistics. Can you face the creativity challenge?


That familiar (to some!) sight - the periodic table, one of the most iconic images in science; it's a thing of beauty.  Such logic and efficiency.

However, exploring it from a different angle might be a fun thing to do...can you alter any of the element names slightly to create a person's name?  For example, tin becomes 'Tina' and beryllium becomes 'Beryl'.  How many can you find?  Loose connections not the least bit frowned upon.
