I know that lots of students get confused by the cyclic nature of the table and how the lanthanides and actinides fit in. Not a bad idea for use in a science classroom.

As a gemologist, I also enjoyed how many crystals and minerals he used to illustrate each element.  It made me want to start an element collection but our small house and budget might be a setback... for now...

Meh! However that is an awesome postage stamp idea. 3D Paper sculpture? Meh! However that is an awesome postage stamp idea.
