Abstract

The chemical elements tiles illustrating the features of this special IYPT2019 issue of Chemistry International are part of the IYPT Timeline of Elements project organized by Chem 13 News and the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. The project attracted worldwide participants. Teachers were asked to apply on behalf of their students to design an artwork for one assigned element. 200 applications from over 29 countries were initially received, and ultimately all the elements were assigned to 118 schools from 28 countries, including every province and territory in Canada.

The Timeline of Elements will also be turned into a full-wall mural (16 m x 3.3 m) and an interactive exhibit in the Science Teaching Complex (STC) of the University of Waterloo. The grand unveil and opening is scheduled for 26 October 2019.

CI editors would like to acknowledge the Timeline of Elements organizers for their willingness to share their project with CI readers. Special thanks to Jean Hein and Heather Neufeld, and to the following students/schools whose elements are reprinted in this issue (in order of appearance):
