The chemical elements are the building blocks which the Universe is made of. Everything around us, even ourselves, is built up with them, atom by atom. Opposite the library you can see the Periodic Table that Physics and Chemistry teacher Fabiola Lacueva’s 2nd ESO students have built «cube by cube» and «cell by cell».
Each side of the cubes shows the information about each chemical element. Some of the cubes are in Spanish and some others in English (the latter made by 2nd ESO BRIT students). The different colours of cardboard help to distinguish between metals (purple), semimetals (light green), nonmetals (dark green) and noble gases (orange). As for the ink colour of the written text, it represents the different usual physical states, that is to say, black for solids, red for liquids and green for gases.
