Welcome to Walking Tour of the Elements!
"Walking Tour of the Elements" is a CD
which has been developed for those who wish to visit vicariously the collection
of elements and minerals described in the Journal of Chemical Education,
Vol. 77, Number 8, August, 2000. This "Walking Tour" CD also includes additional
information and slides developed during our American Chemical Society Lecture
Tours. With over 400 slides, the "Walking Tour" is designed to be used as an
educational tool -- either in the present format (which can be presented as
a PowerPoint® slide show) or as a source of text and graphic project material
for teachers and students. "Walking Tour of the Elements" is available from
the following address for $25 postpaid (but see Offer
at top of web page, where
the CD is available for $5.00) (Tax included).
Included on this CD are photographs of all elements through uranium (element 92) in the collection of the elements of the authors, and the minerals of their respective discoveries (from the original site when known), discussed in the author's "A Living Periodic Table," Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 77, Number 8, August, 2000. Also included in this "Walking Tour" is discussion of all known elements, through 116. (Photographs of elements beyond uranium are not available, because public exhibition of these elements is prohibited).
In addition to photographs of the elements and the minerals of their discoveries, special topics are presented in "Walking Tour of the Elements" and include:
Properties of elements and associated minerals
Spectroscopy and colors
Flame spectra
Coinage
Radioactivity
Mining
Magnetism
Special treatment of rare earths
Fluorescence
Transuranium elements and the Isle of Stability
The latest discoveries of the artificial elements
History of the Periodic Table
Scientists' biographies and several other topics.
Future Projects, and Further Information
Another current project by the authors is Rediscovery of the Elements, a tour of the original sites of discovery of the elements in Europe and North America. This DVD will include thousands of photographs and other graphics, with a running text, to give the student a vicarious trip to the mines, stream beds, hillsides, laboratories, universities, museums, geographical and geological settings, and communities and cultures of the discovery sites. This DVD will hopefully be available about 2010. A preview of this work is available in a series currently being published by the the authors in The Hexagon of Alpha Chi Sigma.
For all of The Hexagon of Alpha Chi Sigma articles, which can be read through an Acrobat Reader, press here.
