Was the periodic table designed in a day?
Of course not way too much information, so let's look at how it was done
1. Your first task is to research and find out information about who designed the periodic table and how. You may use the following sites to help you on your task.

2. Getting to know your periodic table
You can use your book or http://www.ptable.com/ to help you answer the questions
