• Resumen

  • A periodic table of elements, following the model of Andreas von Antropoff, was painted in 1934 in a classroom at the University of Barcelona’s oldest building. It still has great historical value and has just been recently restored. So, in 2009 it was proposed by the Catalan Board of Chemists, Col·legi Oficial de Químics de Catalunya, on St Albert’s day that secondary school students worked the History of Chemistry preparing and discussing both Andreas von Antropoff’s and the 150 years of Mendeleev’s periodic table, together with their historical implications. In this study we expose the Catalan Board of Chemists’ project disseminating the history of chemistry within Catalonian secondary schools.
