In a few weeks i'm going back to high school and i slept through this part of science. It was always exhausting to learn or to even think about this but since I've used this i know all of them. It was fun and educating just like school should be but isn't. I've always loved reading but now I love it even more.It gives you terms you may have forgotten and the history of the table. It's great. Go buy it
