ACT ONE: There is a Limerick at your desk. Try and solve it.

ACT TWO: We will describe what a limerick is, and have students try and write one.

ACT THREE: In order to do this, we need basic information about elements. Let us load up something, and learn basic things about elements that you should probably know something about. With a couple of exceptions, these should all be in the first 40 elements. chemicalelements.com is a good one

After we write the limericks, I shall put them on the board, and try and get others to solve them.
