a very obscure one, may have been invented by my dad Some Old Horses Can Always Hide Their Old Age formulae for trigomometry Sine = Opposite (over) hypotenuse Cosine = Adjacent (over) Hypotenuse Tangent = Opposite (over) adjacent still haunts me 40 years later!!! Dont suppose we need these now, with calculators. My musical one was Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. didn't someone write a play with this name? |

Lucia, you are getting all technical now, must admit they sound interesting though I think some of the mnemonics go back to the times before children had pen and paper, or chalk and boards, and had to learn things by heart. Dee xx |

Chemistry equations: but this is all I remember, it was a long time ago. H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid) + CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) = CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and water (H2O) Johnny, finding life a bore Drank some H2SO4. Johnny's father, quick to see Gave Johnny CaCO3. Now he's neutralised, its true But he's full of CO2 (and a bit of H2O, of course, but that would spoil the rhyme) |
