Periodic table shower curtain is this month’s prize In each space there is a question that continues from that statement in the start box. — see page 19. For example: “Is there one mole of… Lithium atoms in 6.022×10 23 atoms of Li?” If the content of hexagon equals one mole, follow the “true” arrow marked with a “T”. If it does not equal one mole, follow the “false” arrow marked with a “F”. Continue until the Finish is reached. At the bottom of the puzzle, students can record their “T” or ”F” paths in the space provided. Send in your students’ answers, and, for each entry, their teacher’s name will be entered into a draw.

IDEAS THAT WORKCombining academic studies with co-op experience
Chanèle Polenz is combining academic studies with
real-world experience in the co-op education program.
Chanèle has held work term positions in a medical
isotope facility, and at a molecular biology lab at Health
Canada. Her current study term includes assisting with
research in mitochondrial disease. This will all lead to
graduate studies and a career in medical research.
Whether searching for the causes of disease, building
business leadership skills, or developing sustainable
energy solutions, you’ll fi nd it all at the University of
Waterloo. uwaterloo.ca
