Memorize the Periodic Table of the Elements and Improve Your Pronunciation

If You wish to help your child to memorize the Periodic Table of the Elements, present a song by AsapSCIENCE. I included the lyrics and the link https://yout by u.be/rz4Dd1I_fX0. It goes quickly, so I recommend slowing the playback speed in settings. In addition, it is an excellent exercise for improving your pronunciation.

What are the three types of pronunciation?

There are three main aspects of pronunciation you need to focus on:

1. Phonetics: the individual sounds in a language.
2. Word stress: the syllables in a word and where to place the primary stress or accent.
3. Sentence stress: how we pronounce words when we put them together in sentences.

The Periodic Table, Based on the "Can-Can" music by Offenbach.

And now, AsapSCIENCE presents The elements of the Periodic Table There's Hydrogen and Helium (H/He) Then Lithium, Beryllium (Li/Be) Boron, Carbon everywhere (B/C) Nitrogen all through the air (N) With Oxygen, so you can breathe (O) And Fluorine for your pretty teeth (F) Neon to light up the signs (Ne) Sodium for salty times (Na) Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon (Mg/Al/Si) (Phosphorus, then Sulfur) (P/S) Chlorine and Argon (Cl/Ar) (Potassium) And Calcium, so you'll grow strong (K/Ca) (Scandium) Titanium, Vanadium, and (Sc/Ti/V) Chromium and Manganese (Cr/Mn) This is the Periodic Table Noble gas is stable Halogens and Alkali react aggressively Each period will see new outer shells While electrons are added, moving to the right Iron is the 26th (Fe) Then Cobalt, Nickel coins you get (Co/Ni) Copper, Zinc, and Gallium (Cu/Zn/Ga) Germanium and Arsenic (Ge/As) Selenium and Bromine film (Se/Br) While Krypton helps light up your room (Kr) Rubidium and Strontium (Rb/Sr) then Yttrium, Zirconium (Y/Zr) Molybdenum, Technetium (Mo/Tc) (Ruthenium) Rhodium, Palladium (Ru/Rh/Pd) (Silver-war) Then Cadmium and Indium (Ag/Cd/In) (Tin-cans) Antimony, (Sn/Sb) then Tellurium and Iodine and Xenon (Te/I/Xe) And then Caesium and Barium is 56 (Cs/Ba)

and this is where the table splits Where Lanthanides have just begun Lanthanum, Cerium, and Praseodymium (La/Ce/Pr) Neodymium's next to (Nd) Promethium, then 62's (Pm) Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium and Terbium (Sm/Eu/Gd/Tb) Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, (Dy/Ho/Er) Thulium, Ytterbium, Lutetium (Tm/Yb/Lu) Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten, (Hf/Ta/W) then we're on to Rhenium, Osmium, and Iridium (Re/Os/Ir) Platinum, Gold to make you rich till you grow old (Pt/Au) Mercury to tell you when it's really cold (Hg) (Thallium) And Lead then Bismuth for your tummy (Tl/Pb/Bi) (Polonium) Astatine would not be yummy (Po/At) (Radon) Francium will last a little time (Rn/Fr) (Radium) then Actinides at 89 (Ra/Ac) This is the Periodic Table Noble gas is stable Halogens and Alkali react aggressively Each period will see new outer shells While electrons are to the right Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium (Ac/Th/Pa) Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium (U/Np/Pu) Americium, Curium, Berkelium (Am/Cm/Bk) Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium (Cf/Es/Fm) Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium (Md/No/Lr) Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium (Rf/Db/Sg) Bohrbium, Hassium then Meibtnerium (Br/Hs/Mi) Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Copernicium (Ds/Ro/Cn) Nihonium, Flerovium (Nh/Fl) Moscovium, Livermorium (Mc/V) Tennessine and Oganesson (Ts/Og) And then we're done.
