The Element Song

This site has a traditional periodic table and related information, but with a twist. The elements on the periodic table are represented by absolutely gorgeous images that are related to the element itself. These include all sorts of ancient symbols, graphics that represent a famous story about the element, and other nifty ideas, along with explanations of why that particular image was chosen. Worth it to browse, even if just to see the pictures.

Web Elements

This is an on-line periodic table. Click on the element of your interest, and it will bring you to several pages of easy-to-understand information about that element, including its common uses and its properties. Includes photos of the element and silly science cartoons.
