The new periodic table song to make you and your crazy students)
by Staff
There was once a periodic table song whose frantic rhythm and an extraordinary organization made him apparently irreplaceable – a classic among the classics. There was no need for another.
But in a answer to a question that no one asked, the good people of Asapscience returned to the well and produced another surprising who certainly took up room on the smartphones of all cool children, rhythmically striking beats throughout the school.
This version has the elements in order and even includes interjections which clarify how the periodic table itself is organized. Here is the version with lyrics, and here is a version that has been slowed down.
If you have used a version of the song, tell us how in the comments. Sharing is attentive.

Use the video as a quick start, then move the students in the applications – Build mnemonic cards, locate families on the table and explain why groups share properties.
Use in class
- Warm: Play the refrain once; Ask students to identify alkali, alkaline land, halogens and noble gases on a periodic table in class.
- Label and explain: In pairs, students label a group a group and list two properties with daily examples (for example, neon, sodium signs in table salt).
- Verification of false ideas: Ask “what is doing period Mean here? And “why are the properties repeat themselves over periods?”
- Exit ticket: Name an element, group and common use.
