I found a terrific website called the Periodic Table of Videos. Created by the University of Nottingham (yes that fabled town) chemists, the site has videos on 94 of the elements found in the periodic table. They try to demonstrate some of the properties characteristic of each element. Each video is on Youtube, which is unfortunate because many school districts block the site. Nevertheless it is an invaluable tool in teaching the matter and the periodic table to middle schoolers. Some of my favorite videos include:
sodium
iodine
mercury
