Welcome to a fun journey through the periodic table with ASAP Science! Let’s explore the elements that make up everything around us.
We start with Hydrogen and Helium, the simplest and lightest elements. Next, we have Lithium and Beryllium. Boron and Carbon are found everywhere, while Nitrogen fills the air. Oxygen is essential for breathing, and Fluorine helps keep your teeth healthy. Neon lights up signs, and Sodium adds flavor to your food.
Then there’s Magnesium, Aluminium, and Silicon. Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine, and Argon follow. Potassium and Calcium are important for strong bones. We also have Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, and Manganese.
The periodic table is a way to organize elements. Noble gases are stable, while Halogens and Alkali metals react easily. Each row, or period, adds new electron shells as you move to the right.
Iron is the 26th element, followed by Cobalt and Nickel, which are used in coins. Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium, and Arsenic come next. Selenium is used in photography, and Bromine is in film. Krypton lights up your room.
Next, we have Rubidium, Strontium, Yttrium, Zirconium, Niobium, Molybdenum, and Technetium. Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Silver, Cadmium, Indium, Tin, Antimony, Tellurium, Iodine, Xenon, and Caesium follow.
Barium is the 56th element, and here the table splits to include the Lanthanides: Lanthanum, Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium, Ytterbium, and Lutetium.
Then we have Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten, Rhenium, Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, and Gold. Mercury measures temperature, while Thallium, Lead, and Bismuth have various uses. Polonium and Astatine are rare, and Radon and Francium are short-lived. Radium leads us to the Actinides.
The Actinides include Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, and Lawrencium.
Finally, we have Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Copernicium, Nihonium, Flerovium, Moscovium, Livermorium, Tennessine, and Oganesson.
And that’s the periodic table! If you enjoyed learning about the elements, you can find more fun science videos and songs online. Keep exploring and discovering the amazing world of science!
Explore your home or classroom to find items that contain elements from the periodic table. Make a list of these items and identify the elements they contain. Share your findings with the class and discuss the importance of these elements in everyday life.
Write a short song or rap about your favorite element. Include interesting facts about its properties, uses, and where it can be found. Perform your song for the class or record it to share with your friends.
Work in groups to assemble a large puzzle of the periodic table. Each piece should represent an element, including its symbol, atomic number, and a fun fact. Once completed, discuss how the elements are organized and what patterns you notice.
Create trading cards for different elements. Each card should include the element’s name, symbol, atomic number, and a fun fact or use. Trade cards with classmates and try to collect a complete set of a specific group, like noble gases or alkali metals.
Design a board game that helps players learn about the periodic table. Include challenges and questions about element properties, uses, and history. Play the game with your classmates and see who can become the ultimate element expert!

And now…ASAP Science presents: The Elements of the Periodic Table
There’s Hydrogen and Helium
Then Lithium, Beryllium
Boron, Carbon everywhere
Nitrogen all through the air
With Oxygen so you can breathe
And Fluorine for your pretty teeth
Neon to light up the signs
Sodium for salty times
Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon
Phosphorus, then Sulfur, Chlorine and Argon
Potassium, and Calcium so you’ll grow strong
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium and Chromium and Manganese
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
Then Cobalt, Nickel coins you get
Copper, Zinc and Gallium
Germanium and Arsenic
Selenium and Bromine film
While Krypton helps light up your room
Rubidium and Strontium then Yttrium, Zirconium
Niobium, Molybdenum, Technetium
Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium
Silver-ware then Cadmium and Indium
Tin-cans, Antimony then Tellurium and
Iodine and Xenon and then Caesium and…
Barium is 56 and this is where the table splits
Where Lanthanides have just begun
Lanthanum, Cerium and Praseodymium
Neodymium’s next too
Promethium, then 62’s
Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium and Terbium
Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium
Ytterbium, Lutetium
Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten then we’re on to
Rhenium, Osmium and Iridium
Platinum, Gold to make you rich till you grow old
Mercury to tell you when it’s really cold
Thallium and Lead then Bismuth for your tummy
Polonium, Astatine would not be yummy
Radon, Francium will last a little time
Radium then Actinides at 89
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
Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium
Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium
Americium, Curium, Berkelium
Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium
Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium
Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium
Bohrium, Hassium then Meitnerium
Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Copernicium
Nihonium, Flerovium
Moscovium, Livermorium
Tennessine, Oganesson
And then we’re done!!

This version maintains the educational content while removing any informal language or expressions.
Elements – Substances that consist of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. – Gold and silver are examples of elements because they are made of only one type of atom.
Periodic – Occurring at regular intervals; in chemistry, it refers to the repeating pattern of chemical properties in elements. – The periodic table is arranged so that elements with similar properties appear at regular intervals.
Table – An arrangement of data in rows and columns; in chemistry, it refers to the periodic table that organizes elements. – Scientists use the periodic table to predict how different elements will react with each other.
Hydrogen – The lightest and most abundant element in the universe, represented by the symbol H. – Hydrogen is a key component of water, which is essential for all known forms of life.
Oxygen – A reactive element that is essential for respiration in most living organisms, represented by the symbol O. – Oxygen is necessary for combustion, which is why fires need air to burn.
Carbon – An element that is the basis of all known life on Earth, represented by the symbol C. – Carbon atoms can form long chains, which are the backbone of many biological molecules.
Nitrogen – A colorless, odorless gas that makes up about 78% of Earth’s atmosphere, represented by the symbol N. – Nitrogen is a crucial part of proteins and DNA, which are essential for life.
Metals – Elements that are typically hard, shiny, and good conductors of electricity and heat. – Copper and aluminum are metals used in electrical wiring because they conduct electricity well.
Gases – States of matter that have no fixed shape and expand to fill their containers. – Helium and neon are gases that are often used in balloons and neon signs.
Compounds – Substances formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together. – Water is a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together.
