Introduction of the Game: A long lost civilization has been found buried beneath many feet of lava from an ancient volcanic eruption. The population consisted of many scientists who were in the early stages of discovering and identifying the elements of the natural world. Stone tablets were recovered from beneath the lava showing that these ancient scientists were in the process of developing a periodic table of the elements known to them. Can your students use the clues to decipher this ancient periodic table?

What will the students be doing?

The ancient population had different names and symbols for the elements than those used on the modern day periodic table. Students must decipher the clues and descriptions of each element in order to place the elements in the correct position on the periodic table.
