Interactive Periodic Table in Pictures and Words

I posted last month a couple of very good sites about interactive periodic table sites.  To see them click here.  This is another one but it is not as fancy in a good way.  It shows a picture of a common everyday item that the element is used in and a basic description of the element.  To see the website click here.  You might also go to their home page and scroll down to see some of the other things they offer like element cards and other printables.  If you would like to see the other posts I have done on periodic tables just type "periodic table" in the search box in the top left corner.

Shakespeare Insult Kit

My daughter texted me with a Shakespearean insult , "Thou art a saucy, tickle brained, nut-hook.  How dare thou bit thy finger at me".  I  had to look it up.  I found the Shakespearean Insult Kit that you might use with your class if it is their first time seeing Shakespeare.  To see the insult kit click here.  I found the image below at this site and used Background Burner to remove the background from the infographic.  If you want to see my blog  about Background Burner click here.
