Simon Final Project

My element is mercury, its atomic number is 80. We use this element for making scientific tools, like thermometer or stop signs on the road. It has been discover 3000 years ago in China and Egypt (we even found some in pharaoh tombs). It also conducts electricity very well but it is too expensive for wires. My idea comes from the picture I have shows one of the probable discover of mercury. Mercury has been found in China Let's talk about the process. I first did some brainstorming, and I researched where was this element found first and who were the people who discovered it. I looked it up on google and I found this cool sketch of this Chinese scientist. Then I copied it on a paper, I used some tracing paper to trace it styrofoam sheet. After that, I just followed the basic printing process with the paint and stuff. What I would do differently would be to put more paint to make the final draw more complete with no white spots. I found my basic sketch pretty cool. I really liked the last step, when you put the paint on the surface, you use a roller and with it you paint the styrofoam sheet.
