Journal of Chemical Education, v91 n6 p868-871 Jun 2014
Deep knowledge of the periodic table is one of the most important keys to understand the basic principles of Chemistry. Memorizing the elements of the groups and periods is one of the most commonly used strategies to learn the position of each element in the periodic table; nevertheless, it is a hard task for most students. The use of card games can represent a useful alternative to teach some chemical aspects. Here, we present "ChemMend," a new chemical card game that will allow chemistry students to obtain a good ability in the periodic table. This game attracts the attention of the students, and it allows them to review mentally the period and group while playing; this learning is a consequence of the game. The "ChemMend" game introduces and explores the periodic table in the classroom.
