To celebrate the International Year of Chemistry, Chem 13 News encouraged chemistry educators and enthusiasts worldwide to adopt an element and artistically interpret that element. The project created a periodic table as a mosaic of science and art.
Pictured is the 25-foot by 18-foot wall mural of the final project in the Earth Science Museum at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. Two project participants spoke at the installation ceremony — current University of Waterloo student, Heidi Fernandes whose high school class designed tile Fm-100 (Chris Toth’s class at Saint Thomas More Collegiate, Burnaby, British Columbia) and Sally Mitchell, whose class designed Hs-108 (East Syracuse-Minoa High School, East Syracuse, New York).
