妙手生“化”
FUN CHEMISTRY
探索化学奥秘 结合趣味开始
化学学科的两大特点，其一，化学起源于实验，依赖于实验,是一门以实验为基础的自然科学。其二，化学“繁”。这个“繁”实际上就反映了化学学科知识点既多又分散，并且大量的知识需要识记的特点。学习知识，兴趣能点燃学生的好奇心，积极动手能唤醒学生创造性。孔夫子云：“温故而知新”。在兴趣与创造力二者合力引导大家积极学习的同时，同学们更要善于回过头看看以往所学知识，从中体会到更多的东西。寒假期间，美国中心9-10年级的学生，回顾以往所学内容，他们将化学学科知识与服装创意相结合，设计并制作了专属于“化学党”奇装异服。下面看看他们为我们带来了那些富有创意的作品。
Here is the picture which I designed, and it is about the knowledge of atom that we have learned.
I chose the nitrogen atom as a base, N atom’s atomic number is 7 which means it has seven electrons, seven protons and seven neutrons.
According to Rutherford’s nuclear atomic model, the middle of the atom is composed of protons and neutrons (which is also called neutron), and electrons(-) are located around the protons and neutrons. In this picture I represent the protons and neutrons as balloons and lovers. As you can see in the picture, man has balloons which are written ‘o’ this represents neutrons with no charge, the number of balloons represents the number of neutrons (7 neutrons) in the Nitrogen atom. Therefore, woman has balloons which are written ‘+’, it represents the protons with positive charge, same as the man, the number of balloons woman has is the number of protons (7 protons) in the atom.
According to the Bohr’s model, electrons are moving around at its own shell, and this is also same in the nitrogen atom, 7 electrons are moving around at their shells.And I represent those as my style, on the white shirts; around the lovers there are two shells in which N’selectrons are arrangedas1s22s22p3.According to the arrangement of electrons, at first shell there are 2 electrons and at second shell there are 5 electrons, also I designed and put patterns on it in every electron.
[RIGHT SIDE]
N represents the nitrogen atom and N-represents a special negative particle.
*Comparing size of the N and N-
Nitrogen anion means N gains electrons, as it gains electrons, electron clouds got bigger which means its size also got bigger.
So, the picture here represents N-is bigger than N.
In order to make it looks nice I express those with symbols, “
[LEFT SIDE]
I represent the N as a noble gas notation.
N’s electron configuration is 1s22s22p3. Next step is to find the element which is at upper line and in 18group-He. As a result, its noble gas notation is [He]2s22p3since 1s2is replaced by He
In white empty t-shirt I put N and He at different position to show their location in periodic table.
[BACK]
Back side is about the Periodic Table, I designed as a galaxy with planets.
Size of the planets is same as size of elements shows in periodic table. From top to bottom size of atoms is getting bigger because of increasing energy level and weaker attraction, and as you go right to left the size of atoms is getting smaller because of increasing number of protons, stronger nuclear charge, stronger attraction.
And from top to bottom, planets have different number of orbitals, this represents that the number of energy level are getting increase as you are going down, moreover, just like the arrangement of periodic table, planets which are in the same line(period) has a same number of energy level so planets in each line has different number of energy level.
Yellow line refers to zig-zag line. The elements(metal) that are left side of the zig-zag line are softer than the elements that are in the right side, in order to represent this, I drew white crack on the left side of it (zig-zag line).
Planets has different styles like patterns, colors etc.. and same as the orbitals.
美九张世佳The design comes from atomic models, atomic symbols, and atomic orbital notation.
The pattern design on the front of the clothes combines the pattern of atomic orbital arrangement learned in this semester and the atomic symbol of hydrogen element in the periodic table. On the back of the clothing, the figure appears to be controlling the atomic model, implying that we have mastered some of the atomic learning in the course of the semester
The overall color is mainly black and white gold, presenting a simple style
The design is based on the chemistry knowledge learned in this semester. Although the knowledge involved is only the tip of the iceberg, it also reflects the interesting nature of chemistry

化学手提包设计理念：将惰性气体与懒惰的年轻人合而为一
Noble gases refer to the elemental substances corresponding to all 18thgroupelements on the periodic table, also known as noble gases. At room temperature and pressure, they are colorless, odorless, monatomic gases that are difficult to react with. In modern society, many young people do nothing, have no sense of time, and do not participate in social activities, just like these inert gases. This handbag is not only a chemical element, but also represents the concept of modern youth laziness
Overview of Clothing concept
Firstly, I chose a T-shirt to be my original pattern. Because T-shirt is convenient to design.
At first, I was thinking that the most iconic thing in chemistry is the periodic table, and I could show it all on my clothes. But if only a few elements lined clothes, isn't there no any design?
Then I wondered if I could make a pattern and fill it with elements. And then I started thinking about when I was a kid, when you think about chemistry, you think about the big bang. Let's make the elements look like a big bang.
This T-shirt is based on a monotonous white cotton short sleeve, on which I selectively add some important chemical knowledge points I have learned this semester. (drawn with marker) fully shows the chemical elements of this T-shirt. Colors are presented in the form of clashing colors. Its front and back are just not the same color, reflect the visual impact. Clothing is designed by breaking down chemical knowledge points and stitching them together again, so that each part of the clothing is a complete and independent individual, which can be taken out and re-matched to achieve different effects. The overall simplicity, smooth lines, diagrams and various atomic models.
This is my T-shirt. The color is white. On the front, I designed an atomic structure, and then painted it on it, using red and yellow colors to replace the atomic nucleus.
Then, this picture is the back of the T-shirt I designed. Through my study last semester, I learned the elements on the periodic table of elements, so I thought about it, and then painted it on the top after changes. The reason for his design is to hope not to forget these elements.
在此次化学创意设计项目中，同学们分别展示了各自对于化学学科知识的理解。通过查阅资料，学习画图软件的使用，再到服装定制及创造，不仅培养了学生学习化学的兴趣，同时也提高了学生的自我学习的能力。这次化学主题创意设计项目让大家看到，在学习和成长的路上，每个人的心里都隐藏着一个了不起的自己。
