This sounds really nerdy but I absolutely love the Periodic Table. I think it’s one of the most fascinating tools in science and I love bringing it to life for my students. I have created a lot of resources around the Periodic Table because as a young student I never really appreciated its usefulness. Through college and grad school, I really did. This ‘Periodic People’ activity has become a favorite lesson and definitely my favorite way to introduce the concept of the Periodic Table as a table of patterns! This activity was adapted from the Oakland Schools Chemistry Resource Unit. The original activity includes a perfectly useful but more simplistic version of the ‘Periodic People’ cards. Somewhere along the way, I found the cutest set of these that had been re-drawn by an artist named Renee Kimpel. She had them on her blog for free download. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find Renee and her blog again to give her proper credit (if you do know about this blog or where the re-drawn Periodic People can be found, please leave this in the comment section below!). I am providing a FREE DOWNLOAD of this resource, so be sure to scroll […]

I can no longer sum up John Ruskin as neatly as I did when I was working at the Morgan Library. I was a young, privateering scholar then, conducting swift, efficient raids on the legacy of one writer after another as the manuscript exhibition came together. Ruskin was a prescient critic of the industrializing world around him and an early witness of climate change, as Tim Barringer notes in Unto This Last: Two Hundred Years of Ruskin, the catalog accompanying the exhibition of the same name currently showing at the Yale Center for British Art. Ruskin’s lectures called “The Storm-Cloud of the Nineteenth Century”—delivered in 1884 and based on a lifetime of cloud-watching—portray the “plague-wind” that originated, he believed, in the smokestacks of industrial England. “By the plague-wind every breath of air you draw is polluted, half round the world.”

Author: Hope JahrenFormat: Paperback / softbackNumber of Pages: 224Hope Jahren is an award-winning geobiologist, a brilliant writer, an inspiring teacher, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. In THE STORY OF MORE, Jahren illuminates the link between human consumption habits and our imperiled planet. In short, highly readable chapters, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions - from electric power to large-scale farming and automobiles - that, even as they help us, release untenable amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases - from superstorms to rising sea levels - and the actions that all of us can take to fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of warming and a lively, personal narrative given to us in Jahren's inimitable voice, THE STORY OF MORE is the essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it.

UCLG Pact for the Future is an initiative by the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) organisation – a global network that represents and advocates for local and regional governments around the world – to mobilise cities of all kind to address pressing global challenges such as climate change, inequality, poverty and sustainable development. A manifesto at heart, UCLG Pact for the Future details the events in UCLG’s history and also outlines a promise and a plan to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To translate the project into both an appealing and understandable format, Barcelona-based UCLG reached out to their neighbour, Codea Studio.
