Chemical Bingo

Also in 2009, as a complement to the Chemical Cards I described in the previous post, we included some bingo cartons, based on a design freely available from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility's website at https://education.jlab.org/, together with a Periodic Table of the Elements based on one by Michael Dayah from https://www.ptable.com/?lang=es. The bingo cartons featured only the elements' symbols, and for element 112, it used the symbol Cp, while the periodic table used the later symbol Cn; we addressed this issue in the addendum I previously mentioned in the  post about the Chemical Cards.

So, in early February, 2024, after having finished the improved version of the Chemical Cards, I worked on an improved version of the bingo cartons, too, including additional details for the elements aside from just their symbol, and using the same background colors used on the Chemical Cards for each one, spanning 18 A4 pages in landscape layout with 2 cartons each, and you can see them here:

I also used the squares from the bingo cartons to assemble a new Periodic Table of the Elements at the same time, split across two A4 size pages in landscape layout, too:

Here you can download the Chemical Bingo cartons as a single PDF file:

And here you can download the accompanying Periodic Table of the Elements as a PDF file, too:

If you prefer, you can download both the Chemical Bingo cartons and the Periodic Table of the Elements together in a single PDF file:

Shortly afterwards, I also made a version of the Chemical Bingo cartons split across 9 pages of A3 size in portrait format, available here as a single PDF file:

And to complement it, I made a version of the Periodic Table of the Elements in a single A3 size page in landscape layout, arranged in a more conventional way:

Here's the link to download it as a PDF file:

And I also provided a verion of it split across two A4 size pages in portrait layout:

The corresponding link to the PDF file of this verion is here:

In order to play the Chemical Bingo game, you take the deck of Chemical Cards with the elements' names on it, shuffle it, and begin drawing cards from the top of the deck, calling the name of the element; the students will have to know which symbol corresponds to each element being called. Or if you want to make it easier, you can use the "symbols" deck and call the symbols directly.  You can also use the "symbols" deck and call the atomic number (which is featured on the cartons, anyway), but not the atomic weight (since there may be more than one element with the same value). For a real challenge, you could use the "names" deck and call the electron configuration, something like "the element with an electron configuration of 2, 8, 18, 32, 12, 2" instead of simply calling "Wolfram", "the element with symbol W", or "the element with atomic number 74"...
