Transition Metal Periodic Table

This focused grid shows the first-row transition metals from scandium to zinc. They occupy period 4 and groups 3 through 12, which makes the sequence of the d-block visible without the rest of the periodic table. It is useful for a lesson on metallic behavior, variable oxidation states, catalysts, or common industrial metals. The color scale follows atomic number, while the cell labels preserve the chemical symbols students need to recognize. If you add chemical properties, use one consistent measure at a time, such as melting point or common oxidation state, rather than combining unrelated values in the same card.
