About "The Elements"

What I liked about "The Elements" movie was that it was visual rather than just reading from a book.

What I did not like about the movie was the guy who talked in the point of view of the elements. It kind of freaked me out.

My three favorite elements were Au, Hg, S because it was interesting to learn about Gold and Mercury & Sulfur were used to create inventions that made scientists wealthy.

My least favorite elements were Cu. Fool's Gold is made up of mainly Copper, so basically Copper is fake Gold. I don't really dislike any other elements because they're all useful in different ways; so is Copper.

What is F=S=A?

F=S=A means Formula, Substitute, and Answer.

Example: % Error = lDifferencel / lTruel * 100%
% Error = l50g-20gl / 20g * 100% = 101.5%

 I think F=S=A is really helpful and great for remembering to substitute the given into the formula and finding the answer.
