Slam! Bang! Learn! Pow!

What could be more fun than the Periodic Table you had to memorize in Chemistry class?

Now, isn’t that a conundrum?

Actually, speaking as one who as a high school student (and dropout) saw the periodic table as a beast at best, I am really encouraged by the creativity in the delightful site titled, The Comic Book Periodic Table of the Elements.

This is where it’s at!

This is DRY, way DRY, stuff to most students.

Sure, some kids like periodic tables and such. Good. What about everyone else?

The folks who designed this site have taken an unexciting thing and made it pretty Kool!

Good for you, John P. Selegue and F. James Holler at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky. Good for you! You are educational Supermen!!!
