What is the periodic table?

Have you ever wondered what the entire universe is made of? From the crashing ocean waves to the sand beneath your feet, and even your own body—everything is built from a set of invisible LEGO blocks called chemical elements! Join Mira and Finn as they explore the incredible Periodic Table of Elements to uncover the wildest ingredients in the universe! Did you know there are only 118 known elements? Discover how a brilliant Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev used a game of solitaire to organize them all, and even predicted missing elements before they were discovered! We'll reveal the crazy secrets of chemistry, like how a shiny metal that explodes in water and a toxic green gas can combine perfectly to make the safe, delicious salt you eat on your french fries! Plus, find out which weird metal literally melts into a puddle from the heat of your hand, and why your body has enough carbon hiding inside to make 9,000 pencils! Get ready to look at everything around you in a whole new way, because science is definitely not boring!
