This is a periodic table that may be blown up or used as handout/overhead. This periodic table includes the number of electrons in each energy level. A good way to teach about the periodic table is to pay attention to the valence number so that students can see similarity within groups. For example, it is easy to see that all group 1 atoms have 1 valence electron and group 17 atoms each have 7. Seeing the valence number helps when teaching about why atoms bond to begin with.

This is a drawing of a good demonstration that involved one speaker powering another with no electricity other than that provided by the speaker. If you hook one speaker up directly to another, the speaker spoken into becomes a microphone producing an alternating current matching the frequency of the voice. The alternating current then powers the other speaker. You can have over 500 feet of wire and the demo still works. Learning how speaker work is very helpful for 8th graders in understa
