Abstract
The periodic table is an important set of scientific symbols that are not commonly used in everyday life but which may cause science phobia in youngsters. Many types of educational tools for learning the periodic table do not provide an opportunity to discover the relationships between chemical elements. In this study, we propose a NEO Game of sugoroku involving a 3D periodic chart (i.e., periodic-sugoroku) for use as an educational tool. Sugoroku is a Japanese board game similar to Parcheesi or Monopoly. Using this proposed tool, students can actively learn the periodic chart while enjoying a sugoroku game.
