My 5th grade granddaughter just came over and recited the periodic table of

My favorite three elements: Gold, Ham and Tears of a mermaid.

Did she do it in song form? My chem 105 professor at BYU offered extra credit to anyone who could perform this

I have taught chemistry for 15 years and I can't recite the entire table.

Can't say that it is all that useful but she does like to memorize things.

I have a PhD in chemistry and probably couldn’t name half the known elements.

Big deal. Earth, air, fire, water. Easy peasy.
