I just saw on Discover.com a blog post that almost made me wish I was teaching Chemistry again.....almost.
It's about some scientists who have been making a Periodic Table of Videos- a very cool idea that could actually make the periodic table interesting for a change. Check out a couple of their videos- I know my students would like them based on the eccentric cast of characters I saw just in the Tungsten video.
The only disadvantage is that the videos are all on You Tube- teachers and those with internet blockers beware!
And in case anyone's wondering, I would want some sodium for Christmas- if it wasn't illegal to have in high schools, it would be so cool to be able to drop some in water and scare some students occasionally.... I'm kidding, of course. :)
