Basher makes the Periodic Table fun!
After enjoying Basher's book on the Periodic Table, I finally decided to get the flashcards. I debated for a while on getting the flashcards, and printed out the free Periodic Table poster offered at basherbooks.com. Did I really need to buy these flashcards, too? Okay, why not. Are they worth it? Yes!! For a small price I have a set of beautifully illustrated, glossy cards, with cheeky element descriptions on the back of each card.However, I was surprised to find out that (except for the first 2 elements) the cards have two elements per card... and the bottom element is upside down. This may be an ideal feature to use as strictly flashcards, but I found it a bit awkward when laying out in traditional Periodic Table form. The easy fix is just to cut the cards in half. If the cards were full size, it would have been impossible to lay out in correct form on my dining room table. (Uploaded under customer pictures) Also, that would have doubled the size of the box, and probably doubled the price! So, the set is just perfect for me.In card form you can use them for games. For example, try placing them down in Periodic Table order and removing random cards... then the kids can try and guess the missing element.Overall, these are a wonderful solution to making the Periodic Table fun. I am very pleased with this product and my children (ages 7-12) are having fun with this science resource!

This is a fantastic set of flashcards. My 5 year old son is interested in everything and these fulfill his need for information. We had previously tried a set of "The Elements," flashcards, but those were just too beautiful and not sturdy enough for multiple/daily use. I know a previous review stated the downside of one element being upside down, but I see that as a plus when it comes time for clean up! The pictures are just like the other Basher books and incorporate a main component of the element, so they help as a visual memory clue. Overall these are a great set of flashcards for kids.

These are great for homeschooling!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2012
I bought the product to introduce Chemistry to my 2nd graders. Although I loved the Basher Periodic Table book, the flashcards were disappointing because I expected a single element per card. Having two elements at the opposite ends of the card creates unnecessary distraction for young eyes. I was able to work around it by covering one end with my hand as we reviewed, but that also meant that the image was smaller when using the cards with a table of children.

The children, however, loved the cards and begged to spend time with index cards and crayons making their own set of element cards. My son spent hours on the floor making a huge periodic table.

These are adorable and they inspire my kids to study the periodic table for fun! The pictures are cute and memorable and there is a brief and easy description on the back of each card (divided to include two elements per card.)

The descriptions are fun and playful, calling elements "sinister, strange, and stealthy" for mercury, for example.

I highly recommend these cards!

This is a great way to introduce a very high level of science at a very early age. I just ordered a chart to match!

I recommend this flash card deck for children who want to learn about and memorize all the scientific elements. It is a perfect aid for studying.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2012
I had high expectations of a fun game that would help my daughter learn or be interested in the periodic table. However I was a bit disappointed. There were no instructions how to play the game. Some cards have only one symbol on them, others have two. I like the stories about the different elements, they were fun to read. I didn't see the point in the pictures of all those pokemon-like characters.
