We had to do that in one of my science classes, what I did was wrote out all of the names then read them then hid the peice of paper and tried to write down all the ones I knew from memory then worked on the ones I still needed to know.

Eat blueberries. haha I think that only helps in the longs run though. Just try learning them in order and use ummmm what's that word? I can't remember, but little tricks to remember them. Like O would be oxygen cause they both start with o. Lol that's simple, but use things like that.

Memnomics. Make a song or a game out of it.



W equals Tungsten. Sn equals Tin. Yay yay yay. The sign for tin is Sn. Carbon is C, and Fe is iron. Yay yay yay. Yay yay yay. K is potassium, S is sulfer. Na is sodium. How fucking weird.



Hahaha, wow. I wish I could record myself and send that to you. Because it WAS actually a song that I made up off the top of my head, lol.

Wtf? You have to memorise all the symbols and names? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard?



I would try to remember them in groups. Like alkaline earth metals and transition metals and try to split it down even further. Like the noble gases are Neon, Argon etc, maybe make up a mnenomic.



That's incredibly fucking stupid to make you learn the periodic table lol I'm sorry.

I wasn't talking about cheating, I was talking about studying them. Write them down and practice them until you know them.

lol....thats funnie that you have to memorize the periodic table of elements.......because its pretty much pointless since you WILL always have the periodic table arond you...and yes even at your job. Hence why I have not yet had to memorize it(I'm in University) and hope that I don't have a teach that makes me. Although I do know about 20 or more elements.

I'd just write down all the ones that I know and then go from there.. it shouldn't be that bad because I am sure that you know a good amount of them. I know all of them.. but then again .. I am a science person.
