We often search Kickstarter for interesting items such as games, films, and albums. We recently came across the Alternative Periodic Table. The graphic artist, Matt Baker, takes a pattern that is found in the atoms of the elements. He also avoids the jumps that occur in the regular periodic table. In the artists’ words “my alternative periodic table is designed to simply emphasize the way in which atoms are “built” (specifically, how electrons group together into shells and subshells).”
Here are the specs on the table:
Size: 24 x 36″ (61 x 91 cm); comes rolled in a thick poly bag. Frame not included.
Paper: 80 lb glossy cover stock (difficult to tear)
Price: $25 Cdn / $19 US (Includes free shipping to US or Canada)
This is would be a great chart to have in an educational setting or in a budding scientist’s room. A great project would be having students explain the differences from this table and the traditional periodic table. Mr. Baker makes wall charts for a living and you can find more of them at usefulcharts.com.
I’m a husband to a woman who is nerdier than I am, and a father to a near perfect child. I am one of the main authors for this website, plus I handle most of the technical aspects (web design, editing podcasts, and videos, etc.) During the day, I’m a Computer Science and African American Studies Teacher. Most of my free time I’m listening to music or podcasts and watching soccer. I love Star Wars and Star Trek equally. I’m a horrible gamer yet I game.

Creator Supreme Both my wife and I got into comic books late. Local comic shops didn’t exist where I grew up. However, for as long as I can remember I knew who Stan Lee was. His creations, well co-creations, are part of the consciousnesses of our country. Spider-man, the Fantastic…
The Omen was one of the first horror movies I saw. I can’t remember if I saw it in the theaters or if I saw it on HBO. One of the things I loved about my parents is that they didn’t try shielding me from good movies even if they…
