Periodic Table Game

In the chapter Matter and Masses in Physics for Animators, we discuss the Periodic Table of Elements and its role in physics. This table is important, but it can be hard to visualize how the various levels on the table relate to levels of electrons.

Imagine my delight when I found this 3D Periodic Table game that shows each element in visual format, where you can rotate the atom and look at the electrons from various angles. Enjoy!
