I have glanced at today's online resource a couple of times. I looked at it today for the third time and finally got it. I kept seeing periodic table and not really comprehended the excellence of this resource. There is plenty of evidence that many students
will not see the picture you are trying to paint with words so best to show them the picture you are explaining to increase the probability of all students in class comprehending the lesson of the day. In fact, there are students who do not get a visual image in their head because they do not have that abillity according to a teaching workshop I once attended.

Click around on the table and some pretty cool visuals will pop up that my may be able to use in your teaching:
