Superheroes, foods and apps bring a modern twist to the periodic table

 Something everyone who has ever taken chemistry has learned is the periodic table. It takes a while to comprehend the table, its patterns, and its elements. Luckily over the years many teachers and professors tried different ways to teach their students with different formats, such as crossword puzzles, cartograms, and other stylistic ways. Now they have come up with a pseudo periodic table replacing the elements with common objects. For one pseudo-table, they used comic book heroes, using wonder woman, green lantern, superman, etc. Using this method, 75% of the experimental class said it was useful. Also, the results on tests and exams led to an increase in correct answers relating to the periodic table.
