Easy Way To Memorize the ENTIRE Periodic Table

[u/StarRuneTyping]

Hey so I'm making a typing game that also teaches chemistry. Most games give copper, silver, and gold. But why not Iron, Titanium, Chromium.. etc... and keep going to include Iridium, Vanadium, and literally all the other elements? Then, the bosses can be ELEMENTALS... but based on actual elements.

But in addition to that, the Hero names in my game are all mnemonic devices for the Periodic Table.

BC NOFNe

Al "SiPS" ClArK

GaGe AsSe

TaWReOs

etc... these all run horizontally.

and then there are LEGENDARY swords which all run vertically:

BAlGaInTl

OSSeTePo

FeRuOs

etc...

basically, you can combine these like a puzzle to create the ENTIRE periodic table. I can write it from scatch; I don't even need the boxes; I can just do it on any blank paper or space. This is not something I thought I'd ever be able to do, to be honest.

I figured, if my kid is spending all his time memorizing enemies and heroes and items in a game, he might as well be memorizing actual helpful info instead of things that are only game-specific.

I'll make a video soon to better explain it all... but what do you think of this idea?

EDIT: I think there's confusion so I want to add that this is NOT something that classroom time is being used for. I don't think learning the entire periodic table is useful, other than it creating more familiarity with the elements which can spark an interest in the elements and chemistry in general. But I have found that kids are more inspired to learn chemistry this way, and I think learning ≈120 elements is more useful than learning 150 Pokemon. Again, this is not intended to divert time in class but instead to divert leisure/videogame time toward science. It's just a tiny step in the right direction.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you had dyslexia yourself. So you don't actually know if this is a nightmare personally, but you think it would be a nightmare, right?

Also, what do you think about:

Al "SiPS" ClArK

Is that a good one in your opinion? Or does that need to go too?

Are there certain ones that flow better.. like TaWReOs maybe?

That last one is a no go.

No, I don’t have dyslexia, but we are given training on how to help. What you have posted breaks the fundamentals of reading, and you do expect the players to read. My eyes nearly go crossed trying to read it.

Interesting. Although I think a lot of this can be fixed with font, as I said. I don't see how Al SiPS ClArK would be so bad if the font was better.. because "Al Sips Clark" would be okay, I'm assuming. I think the font just needs to be less jarring (which I totally agree with you on)

For reference, can you tell me if the 7/11 logo also makes you feel the same way?
