Periodic Table, Hardest Metal and Golden Eagle.

Use to have a Chemistry Teacher , that used some sort of Poem teach the class to remember the elements of the Periodic table. Because some early batch of School Teacher learnt their material in Chinese. So when the Education System goes under Big Reform to English. Some Chinese  old method still around . Still quite useful in daily classroom at that time.
It goes Like This

Jia Na Cal Mei Lu
Xi Tie Xin Qin Jin
Tong Gong Ying Po Jing

Meaning
Potassium Sodium Calcium Magnesium Aluminum
Tin Iron  __ __ Zinc.
Copper Mercury Silver Platinum Gold

K Na Cal Mg Al
Tn Fe Zn
     Si Pl

It really quite Rhythms in Chinese

Hardest Metal
Used to looks through those Big dictionary in the house , looking for the hardest Material and Metal.
Highest Melting Point etc.
The hardest metal is  actually Tungsten. It is now use in rocket missile as the bullet rod that punch through hard amour. Also use in those incandescent lamp , to burnt and give light. Some of these lamp guess are still around. It should also the 1001th Material Thomas Edison tested on his light bulb  invention.

Golden Eagle.
