POPSJohann Hari: Science is thrilling – except in our schools At Primary School level, often teachers teach little science as this is often hands on, and they keep the messy lesson for art. Also, some teachers at this level just are not science people, forcing themselves to be proficient at maths in stead. I pushed early on for teachers to move from class to class teaching from their area of expertise. Attitudes became more positive.

POPSPeriodic Tarot of Elements Calyxa has developed a divination deck based on the periodic table of elements. As she explains below: "he Elemental Hexagons deck is based on the Periodic Table of the Elements. The modern periodic table as of the end of 2006 lists 117 known elements, and hypothesizes the existence of an unknown total of others. The Elemental Hexagons deck consists of 60 cards; the first 30 from the table, and 30 others of significance. Every element in the deck was discovered previous to 1900, and each can be found outside of a laboratory environment." It's an interesting concept. Might have to order a deck for myself. via Boing Boing

POPSMetaReligion - The Structure of the Atom The theoretical model of the structure of the atom based on protons, neutrons and electrons is useful in explaining the periodic table of elements with each element having a different number of protons neutrons and electrons. The model is not helpful in trying to understand the internal structure of the atom. The curved space theory applies the concept of space-time curvature to the structure of the atom. This is the start of an attempt to provide a unifying theory which explains phenomena on a very small (atomic) scale and on a very large (cosmological) scale. The concept of the equivalence between mass, energy and space curvature is described in the curved space theory of the structure of the universe.

POPSSci-ink-tific tattoos all the rage Really crazy but, inevitable. There is a new trend of geek chic. Being a geek is no longer the sort of thing people laugh at. There is something increasingly cool about it and I think these tattoos are part of that." See more at scienceblogs.com/loom and at Flickr.

POPSWhat or Who Killed Electric Cars I have seen some really nice prototypes for electric cars ... but it looks like the issue of the quick dying batteries have (at least for now) killed the hopes for a green alternative to the gasoline burning cars of today.
