The Gallium Spoon (and other elements in the periodic table)

“The Gallium Spoon” School Collaboration celebrated 2019 as the International Year of Periodic Table of Elements. It explored interesting facts about various chemical elements. Every school chose one or several elements to develop its history, main characteristics, applications, and some experiments with it. Students prepared reports, videos, pictures, presentations, etc. Furthermore, students designed fun games on the Periodic Table in different forms depending on the resources available in their schools (table game, scratch coding game, an app for a mobile phone, etc.). The Project was adaptable to different levels of technical knowledge of the teachers and school infrastructure. All work results were featured on an Augmented Reality (AR) app (Aurasma, a very easy-to-use software to create AR), where every school saw the work done by others.
