Random Element Generator

1. Click the wheel or the Spin button.
2. The wheel spins and lands on one of the 118 elements.
3. Look up the element, answer your quiz question, or spin again.

The wheel is fully editable: open the Choices panel to remove heavy elements you haven't covered yet, focus on a single period or group, or add atomic numbers and symbols to the slice labels (e.g. "Fe – Iron").

The default list follows atomic-number order, making it easy to compare the choices with a periodic table. Choose your learning goal before spinning: naming a symbol, locating a group and period, or explaining an everyday use all make different challenges. Keep a reliable reference nearby so you can check an answer rather than guess. The wheel chooses a name; it does not supply chemical properties or replace a chemistry reference.

For a short revision session, pick a manageable set of elements and write one fact about each result. If you want to avoid repeating an element, remove its entry after discussing it. Share your edited wheel with classmates so everyone can practise with the same selection.

• Chemistry quizzes: Spin the wheel and ask students to name the element's symbol, atomic number or group.
• Study roulette: Can't decide what to revise? Let the wheel pick your next element to study.
• Element of the day: Start science class with a random element and a fun fact about it.
• Classroom bingo: Students mark off elements as the wheel lands on them.
• Science fair icebreaker: Spin for an element and challenge participants to name a real-world use for it.

Adapt the difficulty to your class. Beginners can find the selected name on a printed periodic table, while more advanced students can discuss its position and compare it with nearby elements. In pairs, one student asks a question and the other checks the answer, then they swap roles for the next spin. For bingo, agree on the winning pattern and remove already-called elements if your rules require distinct results. Keep the activity about learning and discussion: a random selection is not an instruction to handle, obtain or experiment with any substance.
