Post 16: Meet the periodic element Calcium (Ca)

We were asked to create a Fakebook profile and I decided I was going to create a profile for the periodic element Calcium (Ca). I used this example to show that this site can be used to not only showcase historical and fictional characters but it can also explain a topic of interest. Just like Facebook has different pages for profiles, websites, companies, and groups, Fakebook can also be used similarly.

On my profile page I loaded pertinent information about Calcium. For instance, I replaced  the "Born" field with a "Discovered" field. I kept the "Family" field and just listed what group Calcium is in, when looking at the periodic table.

It was interesting that when I began to list Calcium's friends, pictures were generated for the elements. I wonder if this is from other Fakebook profiles or from the internet?

I tried to make some funny posts relating to calcium compounds but, alas, humor is not my strong suit.

How was your Fakebook experience? Please share your link.
