Or you could just… Damn, I was about to say Tom Lehrer’s ‘Element Song’ too. I learned it in 8th grade and I can still sing it. It really is useful, unless your trying to recall the the elements that begin with ytt.. and so on. Shout out to Ransom!

I had to memorize Lehrer’s “The Elements.” It wasn’t too bad. Although with that song you don’t learn their order, number, or even anything discovered after 1963….

ok – i remember i have a bulk of it memorized when i took organic chem in college – however i have since forgotten most of the locations.
i did find the best web site i wish i had in college for the table…
i do nothing with chemistry today – and it is still one of my favorites

When I was in high school my science teacher started of by saying that the periodic table was put together by two russian scientists.
H. Helibebcnof and Nena Mgalsipsclarkca
So everyone memorised these two names and later on in the class he pointed out that these two names were actually the first 20 elements, making remembering them that much easier.

15 years later an I can still rattle them off if need be.

I actually had to memorize the periodic table (symbols at least) for an Inorganic Chemistry class, a junior-level class for the BS Chemistry degree. The first day of class, the professor informed us that 20% of the final exam would be to fill in a blank periodic table. It sounded terrifying, but by the end of the semester, it was the easiest 20 points I ever got on a final exam.
