Getting down to the Elements



Elements...those little building blocks of protons, neutrons and electrons! And I don't know much about them. So, I have to learn. Appearently, my chem teacher is NOT going to let us use the periodic table during tests. I am going to e-mail him to make sure I heard him right. Until then, it's flash cards and "Proton Don!" Click on the mouse and see if you KNOW the periodic table!

It seems stupid to have to memorize something that in practical use you could always look up. I remember going through the same thing with the origin, insertion, and action of the muscles. Do I remember any of it?? Heck no!! Good luck with that!
