A periodic table of elements displays the elements in groups ordered by when they were discovered. Click-by-click, new elements are added, resulting in an almost up-to-date chart. In order to reinforce the idea that symbols are used in everyday life, examples of math, money, and music symbols are shown. This is a fascinating PowerPoint on the history of chemical symbols, but does not teach any chemistry concepts.
