Each of these students created a web page for an element, which includes a list of facts, an electron configuration and a paragraph with information including a new element name which reflects one of the properties of that particular element. The webpage with access to all of the student's pages is here.
In the window to the left you will find their new names. Move your mouse of the name of the element in the window to the left to see the more common English name, the student's name and his or her own explanation of the new name.
