How might cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table?

I think that cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table by influencing how the elements were named. For example, the element Tennessine sounds like Tennessee. I also think that discrimination and the grouping of people that began during the Renaissance period in Europe influenced how the elements were grouped within the Periodic Table. (That may be a stretch)

I combined STEAM into this project by learning about my element (science), using my computer (technology), designing my art (engineering), drawing the art (art), and finding my element's number of neutrons (math). I learned that Tennessine is the newest element on the Periodic Table. I showed my creativity by mixing different mediums of art. My artwork contains a large range of colors, incorporates highlights and shadows, and includes texture throughout the mediums. The 2 principles of design that are the most important to me are emphasis and balance. I say these because they can seem like opposites, but incorporating them correctly into your art can elevate it. I used these to make my art look good by putting an emphasis on the colors of the dropper, and balancing it out with the atomic number, atomic mass, atomic symbol, and element name. 

During this class period, my group and I created flashcards for what we'll say for our presentation. we also answered our essential question that ties to our short film.

During this class period, my group and I filmed our first, third, and last scene. I think the film will come out well because I've already started on the editing process to ensure that our cinematography is up to par.

In these assignments, my group and I separated the work. One person designed and picked out the costumes we'd wear, one person created our prop list, and one person created the PBL Flyer.

In this assignment, our class had an acting and improv workshop where we honed our skills. I learned to always go with things and react to what you're given.

Mandala's can be used to calm the nervous system. They are related to Mesoamerican civilizations too. I can see movement, balance, rhythm, and repetition in Mandalas. I can use a mandala to show an atom by making it a diagram of an atom.

In my opinion, art is something that captures a moment and makes you feel something, whether the feeling is positive or negative. For example, chemistry can be art. Like artists, chemists imprint matter with their imagination. Through chemical reactions, they transform substances, shaping their forms and functions, much like an artist shapes a canvas.
