How do scientists collect facts about the universe? Is there a relationship between exploding stars and life on Earth? By observing chemical reactions that occur all around us, it is easy to find similarities among chemical elements.

A dynamic tour of the groups that make up the table, continued with lab footage, allows viewers to see chemistry in action.
