The periodic table challenge continues...

175 minutes for chemistry

Year 8 student Miguel recites the entire periodic table from memory.

We recently shared the story of Saule and Matty, the Year 7 pair from Fairfield High School in Bristol who sent us an impressive video of them reciting the entire periodic table from memory.

Now we present Miguel, a Year 8 student who has taken on the challenge on his own. He told us why he decided to do it.

"Chemistry and the subatomic particle world fascinates me and learning the periodic table was something I wanted to challenge myself with. It also will help me in my GCSEs with knowing the structure of atoms since I learned them in order of atomic number.

"My science lessons inspired me, and a number of teachers here really praised my effort and made me feel like I achieved something amazing.

"At first I found it difficult but I used some tricks I saw on YouTube to help me memorise it."
