My Periodic Table On Horse Breeds

My periodic table on horse breeds. I choose this because I love horses. I love riding them, caring for them, and just being around them in general. I organized the horse breeds into four groups - ponies, light horses (usually riding horses), and draft horses (usually working horses), and other horses (miniature horses, gaited horses, etc.).
As you go down in each group, the atomic mass goes up. For example, the Arabian and Hanoverian are both light horses. But the Hanoverian’s atomic mass is 925.172 which is heavier than the Arabians atomic mass, 900.172. So, the Hanoverian is below the Arabian. And the atomic masses also go from left to right. The Jutland is to the right of Lipizzaner. The Lipizzaner’s atomic mass is 1150.161, which is less than the Jutland’s atomic mass, 1625.161. The atomic mass equals the average weight of the horse in pounds rounded to the nearest whole number . the height of horse in hands (four inches each) times 10.
Another way of organization is the color of the symbol. If it’s blue, it is a domesticated horse. If the lettering is green, the horse breed is generally feral or semi-feral. And if the letters are red, that indicates that the horse breed is unknown. Lastly, I’ve color coded the square …show more content…

For one, the atomic masses increase as you go down a column or across a row. But mine don’t “snake” like the real one. The last one on one row isn’t always (ever) smaller than the first one of the next row. The real periodic table does that. Both my periodic table and the official periodic table have our atomic numbers “snake” around. But my periodic table is skinny and tall, but the real periodic table is short and long. It also isn’t a rectangle, and has an additional piece under the main part. Mine is just a simple, tall rectangle with nothing below. Between my horse periodic table and the real periodic table, there are plenty of differences, but there are also plenty of
