Learning with Memory Techniques: The Periodic Table of Elements (6-10)

thinkkniht (51)in #steemiteducation • 8 years ago (edited)

This is an easy way to learn Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine and Neon. Learning with memory techniques is much easier than rote repetition. Especially when the images are already layed out to you in a clear and intuitive way. In this series we will memorize the Periodic Table of Elements by connecting it with the Visual Major System for numbers. We will cover five elements per post with special training images for all elements and numbers.

Elements Legend

Each element comes with a special training image. These contain the element number, a common application, a phonetically similar image for the name and the element symbol. The color of each training image indicates the element category.

6. Carbon

In the Visual Major System 6 = G and K and hard C. With that we can create the word COW. The sixth element Carbon sounds like a CAR. This element is the foundation of wood and coal so we can imagine a pencil or CHARCOAL STICK.

A cow is driving in a race car over the meadow and draws on the sides of her fellow cows with a charcoal stick when driving by. Crazy cow!

7. Nitrogen

In the Visual Major System 7 = L. With that we can create the word LOO. That is the posh version of toilet. The second element Nitrogen sounds like NIGHT. So we imagine a night sky with sparkling stars. This element is used for EXPLOSIVES like dynamite.

We are sitting on a loo under the night sky out in the open. We want to fly to the stars with our loo-rocket. For that we are lighting up the fuse of our stack of explosives attached to the loo. Boom!

8. Oxygen

In the Visual Major System 8 = B and P. With that we can create the word BEE. The third element Oxygen sounds like the word OX. It is important for any FIRE to burn so can imagine any kind of flame or a torch.

A bee is flying around a hairy ox and tries to lit it on fire with a tiny torch. The ox tried to defend himself with his horns.

Come up with your own story or ask your students to that.

9. Fluorine

10. Neon
