[Catalist] Latest Periodic Table with fundamental physical constants

[Igor Bray]

Dear WA Science teachers,

The latest Periodic Table is now available at https://www.nist.gov/pml/periodic-table-elements. It has a huge amount of information that will hopefully inspire your students to study more science. For example, you might ask them to have a look at the table of Fundamental Constants, and ask them if anything stands out. You will see that while the exact and most measured constants are given to around 10 significant figures, not so for G, which has only four significant figures. Clearly, more work is required to understand gravity better.

With best wishes,

Igor
