La artista Mimi N participa en el proyecto SUN Project y publica regularmente en la red ilustraciones sobre problemas sociales agudos. En sus dibujos refleja los sentimientos y las emociones destructivas de la gente que en general no se discuten en la sociedad, aunque de vez en cuando son experimentados por cada uno de nosotros.

10 fun science experiments for kids to learn about the Sun, the light, the solar power, the relationship with the earth,... Wonderful STEM activity ideas.

While some illustrations are very clear in what they portray, sometimes such drawings can become a little bit too "on the nose." The works of authors like avogado6 are more poetic and enigmatic than that, and they make their viewer pause a little bit and reflect.

L'artiste japonais Avogado6 réalise des illustrations chocs et ultra-puissantes pour dépeindre le malaise de la société. Ses dessins percutants agissent comme des électrochocs et ont cette puissance rare de nous faire réfléchir.

The Japanese illustrator known as Avogado6 uses the language everyone understands—and that is no language at all. It's probably because the delicate topics and complex emotions he conveys are too difficult to describe with words, so this artist chooses thought-provoking visual stories in his unique style. Most of his illustrations are like pills, each containing the flaws of our society and mental struggles. And I must admit, some of them are really hard to swallow. His emotion-fueled, dark, and disturbing illustrations talk about things you wish no one relates to; however, it's a pretty accurate, yet haunting, depiction of the depths of our world.

Alcune illustrazioni hanno la capacità di scuotere le persone all'interno, riuscendo ad arrivare a quelle emozioni oscure e dolorose che spesso

This week we started our unit on space and we’ve been having SO.MUCH.FUN learning all about the Sun, the Earth, and the moon! Can I just tell you how impressed I am by how much information my kiddos have learned in just a few short day… It just goes to prove that when kids are engaged, learning takes place To begin our unit, I decided to tackle one of the biggest MISCONCEPTIONS I noticed my class was having…. Many of the kids believed that the Sun travels around, the Earth. Can you blame them? I mean every morning on my drive to school I see the Sun rising in the sky. I can totally understand why they think this. They “see” the Sun moving in the sky every day. So logic tells you, it’s the one traveling… Right, not quite! To help my kiddos explore this idea a little further, I decided to have them create their very own models. (Feel free to download your own copy here.) They started off by coloring pictures of the Sun, Earth, and moon. While doing this, we talked about the obvious size differences between each. The kids were shocked to […]

We're supposed to have sun for the rest of the week, but it's never good to take chances with the weather. So, when the sun came out today, we hit the ground running with three solar thermal projects at once. This time, instead of working with complicated, photovoltaic, solar panels, we experimented with harnessing the heat of the sun to expand air, purify water, and turn a pinwheel. Each project was simple to put together, and provided easily observable results, but with lots of little details that could be tweaked, adjusted, or expanded. Really I had a hard time deciding which one to write about first, finally settling on the simple solar chimney, or updraft tower we found archived on the National Research Counsel Canada website. The chimney is made by taping together three, large, empty, clean tin cans, with the tops and bottoms removed. A wire arch (made from an unbent paper clip) is taped across the opening of the top can... ...with a thumbtack, or straight pin, taped to the center of the arch, pointing up. The chimney is placed on top of a couple of books, to allow air to flow in from underneath. Finally a pinwheel - made by cutting diagonally in from the corners of a 6 inch square sheet of paper, to within a quarter inch of the center, bending the every other point from the corners to the center, and taping them in place... ...is balanced on top of the thumbtack, taped side down. When placed in the sunlight, the heat from the sun will warm the air inside the cans, creating a convective updraft, and spinning the pinwheel. Questions for thought: What would happen if the tower was not on the books? Would a paper tower work in place of cans? Would pinwheels made of different materials, or in different sizes spin faster? What if the tower was painted black? Could enough power be generated by the spinning pinwheel to turn a generator?
