all at crfsonly i have a test monday in environmental science. the test is over the first 30 elements of the periodic table. any tips on how to make studying funner, easier will be greatly appreciated.

unfortunately, it's all memorization....flash cards are the best way. categorize the metals vs non-metals and transitionals...divide them up that way with the flash cards. frequency with the cards is more important than one long session. get to them early and often.

good luck....
