Periodic Table Model Help

[johnnypdot]

Hi i am new here and this is not homework more of a personal project so basically looking to make a real life model of the periodic table with examples of the elements. I was thinking of buying separate compartments for each element then assemble them together but cant seem to find them on the internet could someone help me out looking for compartments roughly maybe 15cm by 15cm.

I know they make a periodic table sample cases for educators. It has small vials of the elements, but they leave out the toxic and radioactive ones since there are usually kids involved. I have no idea how expensive they are.

Check this out. ;-) Would love one of these!

A few years back they were going for about £5K :-/

You can't find containers?

or

you can't find elements to put to containers.. ?

 

Various containers should be in electronic stores.

 

15 cm x 15 cm is very large..

Do you realize you would need 118 of such?

Then whole set up would be nearly 5 meter wide..

15 cm * 32 in row = 480 cm

7 rows * 32 columns = 224 containers needed (some empty).

That does seem a bit big for most collections. However, if you have enough Au, Pt, and Lu to fill 15cm cubes, I could probably be persuaded to put the whole thing together for you, for a price.
