What does the periodic table have to do with your phone, electrical wires, cars, and other technology you use every day? In this episode of Wait… That’s Science! with Dr. Rodriguez, young scientists discover how elements can be classified as metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and rare earth elements based on their physical properties. Students explore properties such as luster, conductivity, malleability, and brittleness while discovering why elements like copper, silicon, and neodymium are important to modern life. Designed especially for 6th-grade science and TEKS 6.6C, this episode turns the periodic table from a confusing chart into a map of elements that help make our modern world possible. Wait… That’s Science! is a Goddessy Media production.
