The Royal Society of Bethany Scientists went on a hawk trip this weekend. We headed up to Duluth, MN, where we were able to catch and tag two hawks that came migrating through. This year we got a Sharpshin and a Goshawk. You can see more of my photos from this year as well as past years on my flickr page.
Today I want to announce LMNTO.
LMNTO, (pronounced L-M-N-toe, or el-em-en-toe), is a bingo-style game for chemists. It’s a great way to learn the elements of the periodic table.
The game was developed by a professor and some students here at Bethany Lutheran College. This past month I have taken the game and developed an electronic version, making it easy for anyone to play. (The original version involved a number of excel spreadsheets which worked miracles.)
In the words of Eric W, the Chemistry Professor behind the game,
It is a great way to learn the names and symbols of all of the elements or just to pass some time with other people who appreciate chemistry.
It’s simple.
1) print out the randomly generated cards
2) click on the other link to play the game.This game is only for entertainment purposes. Please no betting. I’m kidding, go ahead and wager you paycheck away.
You may notice there is no “free space” in the middle of the card. That’s because (with the same tone Tom Hanks uses when he says ‘there’s no crying in baseball’ in A League of Their Own) there’s no free space in LMNTO!!!!
Okay, enough talk. Go check it out. LMNTO Homepage.
