If you’ve not discovered the Periodic Table of Videos, take note. This is - in my opinion - pure brilliance. I remember trying to memorize that %#&*! table. This site has a short video for each different element, making it a bit easier to understand exactly what each element is. The hair on the narrating professor? Purely a bonus.

UPDATE: I passed this site to my 15 year old last night and he watched these videos for *an hour*. He kept going from one element to the next, thoroughly fascinated. I watched over his shoulder a bit and discovered just how much I didn’t retain about the periodic table. Neon is an element? Who knew?
