I just discovered this rendition of the periodic table: click here
It is a perfect way to slowly learn about each element on the periodic table. You click on each element and hear a simple tutorial about that element. It would be ideal to listen to 3 a day, for example, and then realize that at the end of 7 days you had learned about 21 elements.
I think I'll make this my summer goal. By fall I will be well versed in ALL elements on the periodic table.
